And, for the third or fourth time, I have, after installing SCO's
"C2 SLS," done the following:

	# su news
	$ crontab -l > /tmp/out
	$ vi /tmp/out	# edit it
	$ crontab < /tmp/out
	$ exit
	#

Don't see an 'su - news' in there.  I don't see me playing with the user
environment.  It all works as normal and expected.
