This came up in discussion on IRC and I thought I should throw it at the list so I don't forget. A user was asking how to do what linux cron does, where there is a directory /etc/cron.d/ that packages and add files to to create crontabs. Making FreeBSD's cron (Vixie Cron) include /etc/cron.d/ and /usr/local/etc/cron.d/ in the /etc/crontab format seems like a very useful feature, especially for pkg(8) as it makes it easy and safe to programatically add and remove crontabs as part of a package. -- Allan Jude
