Hi folks,
While investigating OpenBSD's cron implementation, I found that they set
the systemwide crontab (a.k.a. /etc/crontab) to be readable by the
superuser only. The attached patch will bring this to FreeBSD by moving
crontab out from BIN1 group and install it along with master.passwd.
This change should not affect the current cron(1) behavior.
Cheers,
