Description guchi 2002-11-10 08:41:04 UTC 
"crontab /etc/crontab" cause an error every 15 minutes in the case of using
vcron, because vcron reads /etc/crontab directry. 
I suggest following.

------------------------------------------------------------------
Code listing 14.4: Choosing a CRON Daemon

# emerge sys-apps/dcron
# crontab /etc/crontab
or
# emerge sys-apps/fcron
# crontab /etc/crontab
or
# emerge sys-apps/vcron
Note: You must not 'crontab /etc/crontab' in the case using vcron.

Don't forget to add your *cron to the proper init level. 
# rc-update add *cron default 
------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks.
