I had a look at this yesterday evening. I will double check tonight.
(Unfortunately, I find myself in front of M$ products all day long.)

Hmmm, mine (which I haven't changed) has permission -rwsr-x--- and owned by

root:cron. Checking /var/spool/cron/crontabs/*, I find they have
permissions
-rw------- and are owned by root:<user's group>.

Seems to me this is partially done to protect the user from directly
editing
/var/spool/cron/crontabs/<username> which then of course would not take
effect until crond was restarted. Are you certain of what you wrote above?

Jason
