A few small changes to the recent cron.c I put up.

Delete the text:

	/*
	 *	fopen() will create the file if it does not exist.
	 *	Any other errors will be output to stderr at startup.
	 */

Fopen() doesn't do that.
        
Change the access function to:

	if (access(CRONTAB, 4) == -1)  {
	  fprintf(err,"%s has no read permission %s",CRONTAB,ctime(&cur_time));
	  return;
	}

I had "1" which was the execute bit (ie, 4=R, 2=W, 1=E).


The rest seems to be working ok.
