Sort sections.


# 130087 04-Jun-2004 ru

Markup nits.


# 126613 04-Mar-2004 trhodes

Eliminate hard sentence breaks.
General markup fixes (use the .Dq macro).


# 121465 24-Oct-2003 harti

Mention the fact that our crontab is not fully POSIX.2 conform, because
it doesn't allow the dangerous variant of calling it without any
argument.


# 95127 20-Apr-2002 charnier

Use `The .Nm utility'


# 92501 17-Mar-2002 dwmalone

Describe the format of the allow and deny files. This is more-or-less
the patch Matthew submitted, but I broke the lines in a more FreeBSD
way and made one small wording change.

# 68965 20-Nov-2000 ru

mdoc(7) police: use the new features of the Nm macro.


# 68388 06-Nov-2000 dwmalone

Attempt to fix problem with users being able to convince the crontab
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.

$Id$ -> $FreeBSD$


# 49732 14-Aug-1999 chris

Bad reference of su(8) changed to su(1).


# 34809 23-Mar-1998 charnier

.Sh AUTHOR -> .Sh AUTHORS. Use .An/.Aq.


# 29452 15-Sep-1997 charnier

Use err(3). Rewrote man page in mdoc format.


# 22997 22-Feb-1997 peter

Revert $FreeBSD$ to $Id$


# 21673 14-Jan-1997 jkh

Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$

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.

This commit was generated by cvs2svn to compensate for changes in r2311,
which included commits to RCS files with non-trunk default branches.


# 2311 27-Aug-1994 jkh

Paul Vixie's cron, version 3.0. Munged into bmake format. If this goes
well, expect our two seperate directories for cron and crontab to go away
shortly.
