Hmmm... Using either "crontab -e" or the Edit tab and "Reload Cron for root" add this line: -- * * * * * /bin/date >/tmp/foo -- If you are not seeing it /var/log/messages see if /tmp/foo exists.
If /tmp/foo is created then it may be some logging issue. This works for me. I can't image what you have incorrect.
