What you have above is correct and should work fine. I just created a test entry in /etc/cron.d: */5 * * * * root ls -l and it ran as expected, every 5 minutes. >But cron did not pick up the changes automatically.

My test is on 4.1.2. I wouldn't expect to see any different behaviour at all in 5.0 - Vixie cron is a pretty stable product, so I am at a loss as to why this is happening for you. Do you have spaces or tabs between the fields? I just thought of this, so haven't tested it, but perhaps tabs are the cause (if indeed you'd used them - long shot, I know).
