I see, I just upgraded to 1.4.8 on 14 Feb 2012, The log must be generated by an former version of cronie. Now it seems all gone, and I can't provid the spamed log because I have cleaned them up 2 days ago.
Let's see, if there are spams again, I will post here.

Since 1.4.8 cronie doesn't need /etc/crontab... Can you show relevant piece of /var/log/crond.log?

Still have the problem:
Feb 19 06:31:01 vbox02 /usr/sbin/crond[8394]: (root) CAN'T OPEN (/etc/crontab): No such file or directory Feb 19 06:32:01 vbox02 /usr/sbin/crond[8394]: (root) CAN'T OPEN (/etc/crontab): No such file or directory
This is odd... you must have something in /var/spool/cron. Otherwise please provide more info because your problem is not easily reproducible.

i have the same problem. i do have a file in /var/spool/cron/, because i have some user cron jobs to do.
here's some log from /var/log/crond.log
Mar 18 18:04:30 pop crontab[8708]: (pop) BEGIN EDIT (pop) Mar 18 18:04:32 pop crontab[8708]: (pop) REPLACE (pop) Mar 18 18:04:32 pop crontab[8708]: (pop) END EDIT (pop) Mar 18 18:05:01 pop /usr/sbin/crond[8619]: (root) CAN'T OPEN (/etc/crontab): No such file or directory Mar 18 18:05:01 pop /usr/sbin/crond[8619]: (pop) RELOAD (/var/spool/cron/pop)
after some further test, it seems the error only occurs after crontab -e. i think this may be an upstream bug, if upstream says that /etc/crontab is not indispensable. anyway, showing one line of missing file in log is not a big deal. we don't constantly modify our crontab.
best regards,
My problem did not occur any more after I delete /var/spoon/cron/root, I don't know what exactly cause the problem.
