vixie-cron's crontab has a "user" field The rest of this post sounds like it's conflating the two issues again... which is completely my fault. I saw "run-" and got triggered. I think I've said everything that can be said against run-crons on the bug. I don't have any better ideas for the run-parts scheme.
