Yes, I've heard of it.  I also know that crontab does not work when
you've su'd to another user.  For example, how do I change the crontab
for user "news", which has an unmatchable password (no need to ever
log in as news)?  I can't log in as "news", and crontab doesn't work
if I su to "news" from root.
