But isn't it a bad idea to have a script return an error message if you
don't manual adjust it? In this case I'd prefer to see the script as an
example. Or isn't it possible to disable the cron run until it has been
configured? I don't like the idea of a novice user installing a stock debian
system and getting error messages.
