Also, be careful not to change the ownership of the file
/var/cron/tab/. SYSTEM needs to be the group owner, otherwise the
cron daemon will not accept it.

I am guessing that you are running Windows NT. This problem appears on
Windows NT, but not on Windows 2000. It has been a problem for a long
time (over a year?). I don't know what the solution to the problem is,
but a quick way to get around it is to edit your /var/cron/tabs/
file directly.
