program to read any file which is a valid crontab file.
The fix is based on that used in NetBSD and OpenBSD - we keep the
file open while the user is editing it. This means that files must
be edited in place. Cron attempts to warn you if your editor does
not do this. The fact that the file must be edited in place is also
noted in the man page.
This patch has been confirmed to work by atleast one person on
-security and has been tested locally.

Savings Time on cron(8). If we ever introduce some work-around code for
handling jobs scheduled for a time that "doesn't happen" due to DST,
the section should be renamed to IMPLEMENTATION NOTES.

libraries so that `ld -f' in can create correct dependencies for
yet-to-be-built libraries.
Get the default BINDIR correctly (by including ../Makefile.inc recursively.
Override the default it it is wrong.
Don't override defaults when the defaults are correct.
Use getpwnam before getpwuid since two users with same uids can exists
(affects new login classes code only)
The same fixes as in inetd: by default run `system crontab things' with
daemon login class now, not restrict them to user class breaking
compatibility with old way (so-called nobody limits problem)
Implement user[:group][/login-class] syntax in system crontab
for more flexible control (the same as in inetd)
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
used by OpenBSD. (Quite frankly, I think it's perfectly reasonable to
use snprintf to copy strings, given that the semantics for strncpy()
are utterly idiotic and there is no POSIX sstrncpy().)
While I'm at it, incorporate some of OpenBSD's bugfixes to cron.
NOT for 2.2
