Due to cronie doesn't contain an /etc/crontab anymore, there are losts of msgs of missing crontab as shown below in errors.log.
/usr/sbin/crond[1236]: (root) CAN'T OPEN (/etc/crontab): No such file or directory
Such an empty /etc/crontab would belong into the package cronie and not into the package filesystem. It's cronie specific since fcron, which I use, doesn't need and provide one. The corresponding, but also not necessary file for fcron would be /etc/fcrontab. And I'm not sure if such an empty /etc/crontab would affect fcron.
If cronie doesn't provide an empty /etc/crontab and doesn't run without it, it is a bug in cronie.

It runs well,but just spam the error.log and crond.log without /etc/crontab.
Since 1.4.8 cronie doesn't need /etc/crontab... Can you show relevant piece of /var/log/crond.log? -- Leonid Isaev GnuPG key ID: 164B5A6D Key fingerprint: C0DF 20D0 C075 C3F1 E1BE 775A A7AE F6CB 164B 5A6D
