Hi Brian Knapp, only root can modify crontab files which specify a user account, so if there is a bogus user account mentioned, the fault is up to root.
The modification which you are wishing should be decided by upstream developers of cron, not by debian maintainers, so please send this request to them. Currently, we are trying to have a package working in debian which complies as tight as possible to the documentation authored by upstream developers. I will not try to fix this issue, and shall close this bug report. Please feel free to repopen it if you have some argument specific to debian distribution about it. Best regards, Georges. -- Georges KHAZNADAR et Jocelyne FOURNIER 22 rue des mouettes, 59240 Dunkerque France. Téléphone +33 (0)3 28 29 17 70
