I have here 2 types of Linux systems: RedHat 9 anc CentOS 4.4 which is
really a RH copycat.
Here's my findings:

I have found some important thing regarding my upcoming lecture, that
would help expand it a bit (And maybe make it interesting for non SiL guys).
Yet, with all the inconsistencies between the distributions I want to make
sure if that kind of thing is at all valid.
If you would be so kind as to check whether the following files exist on
your system as well, I would be really grateful.
/usr/lib/cron/run-crons
/etc/sysconfig/cron
And one more thing, if you have spare time. Please search a dir named
"crontabs" or "cron/tabs", possibly in /var/spool/ (Permission to the parent
directory might be privileged).
Please send me your findings with a distribution and version.
Thank you for your precious time and cooperation.
