But if see the man of atrun(8) then you can see these
line:
*/5 *   *   *   *   root   
/usr/libexec/atrun

which create an error for me!

 but every 5 minute I receive a mail from cron daemon
 in
 which it says:
 
 Cron [EMAIL PROTECTED] root /usr/libexec/atrun
 
 root:not found

Well, yeah. You specify a username there, and that's not part of the crontab
format - this isn't inetd (see man 5 crontab for reference).

Does that mean /usr/src/libexec/atrun/atrun.man is out-of-synch
with crontab syntax?

atrun(8) refers to /etc/crontab, not /var/cron/tabs/root.
Note that /etc/crontab is NOT edited with /usr/bin/crontab -e.
