Thanks, Martin. Here is the information you are requesting. It all appears
to be fine, except perhaps for the $TZ variable. Could that be causing the
problem? I will try running 'tzconfig' again, but that still doesn't explain
why 'crontab -e' doesn't appear to be working at all, right?
milan:~# echo $TZ
milan:~# more /etc/timezone
US/Central
milan:~# ls -l /etc/localtime
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Mar 7 17:14 /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Central
