*I* didn't create that entry. That's how it was on my system. I even ran
'dpkg-reconfigure cron' and 'dpkg-reconfigure anacron' and it didn't
change it. I just looked at a version of cron that's in my apt cache and
the cron.hourly line is removed...
Should I just add a line like
59 * * * * root test -e /etc/cron.hourly/update-dyndns
to /etc/crontab ??
