System: NetBSD edge.back-street.net 5.99.36 NetBSD 5.99.36 (VMWARE-F3-MONO) #19: Wed Jul 14 15:51:02 JST 2010 taca@edge.back-street.net:/var/obj/sys/arch/i386/compile/VMWARE-F3-MONO i386
Architecture: i386
Machine: i386
>Description:
	/etc/crontab dosen't processed current cron(8) any more.

>How-To-Repeat:
	There was errors in /var/log/cron.

2010-07-15T09:36:22.896356+09:00 edge.back-street.net cron 1013 - - (*system*) BAD FILE MODE (/etc/crontab)

>Fix:
	It seems that current cron(8) think /etc/crontab as each user's crontab.
	in src/external/bsd/cron/dist/database.c:

	if ((statbuf->st_mode & 07777) != 0600) {
		log_it(fname, getpid(), "BAD FILE MODE", tabname);
		goto next_crontab;
	}

	So, "chmod 600 /etc/crontab" could be workaround.  But there should be
	something to distinct the system crontab and user's crontabs.
