Ok! ,-) I move this files ($OTRS_HOME/var/cron/*) to $OTRS_HOME/var/cron/*.dist.
-=> The same as Kernel/Config.pm.dist! Copy to Kernel/Config.pm on setup.
I add this info to the changes file...

There is a new point (since 0.5 Beta8) in INSTALL.
[...]
10. Cronjobs for the OTRS user:
---------------------------
There are several OTRS cronjobs in $OTRS_HOME/var/cron/*. Use
$OTRS_HOME/bin/Cron.sh {start|stop|restart} to start or stop this cronjobs.

I think it's the same (also on BSD). "crontab -u $CRON_USER $CRON_TMP_FILE" if
root use it and "crontab $CRON_TMP_FILE" if the normal user use it.
$CRON_USER is empty in bin/Cron.sh.

Thanks! I changed it.
