Issue #11383 has been updated by Felix Frank.
Here's a silly little patch that addresses this.

It breaks at least four unit tests though, of which at least two are protecting
us quite specifically against the parsing of "foreign" crontabs. Go figure...

Bug #11383: cron type and provider only return resources for ENV["USER"] or
"root", not all users

----------------------------------------
When using resources { cron: purge => true }, only the root users crontab is
purged.
This works:
<pre>
cron {"foo":
command => "ls",
ensure => present,
user => root,
}
</pre>
(and then proceed to comment the above out):
`notice: /Cron[foo]/ensure: removed`
This does not work:
<pre>
cron {"bar":
command => "ls",
ensure => present,
user => nick,
}
</pre>
This crontab will still exist if commented out.
Broken in 2.6 and latest stable.
