Huh? The /etc/crontab file explicitly states that you *don't* need to
run crontab to edit it. The /etc/crontab file has an extra user field
that the regular crontab files do not have ...
--
$ head /etc/crontab
# /etc/crontab: system-wide crontab
# Unlike any other crontab you don't have to run the `crontab'
# command to install the new version when you edit this file.
# This file also has a username field, that none of the other crontabs
do.

Did I misread or did you?
