I'm running FreeBSD 2.1. How many columns is crontab supposed to be six 
columns or seven columns? Someone told me I shoudl eliminate the who 
column in my crontab (below)

Do you know what could be causing me to get teh following message

root: not found

for the atrun entry in crontab, the adjkerntz entry and some of the web 
entries?

In other words, does anyone have any idea what is going on?
