You are probably looking on a system where you never executed `emerge --config sys-process/fcron`

fcrondyn -x ls does not show any part of /etc/crontab, /etc/fcron/fcrontab or /etc/cron.d, the Gentoo installation of fcron seems to ignore all those. The USE flag system-crontab should be responsible for that. From my understanding in the fcron mailing lists /etc/fcron/fcrontab should be called to check /etc/crontab etc. for changes and rebuilt a systab. Currently I have my own custom systab calling all the run-parts /etc/cron.{hourly,daily,weekly,monthly}/ It is currently unclear, what fcron by default does about all these standard cron locations: /etc/crontab /etc/cron.d /etc/cron.hourly /etc/cron.daily /etc/cron.weekly /etc/cron.monthly
