Subject: autolog puts incorrect entry into /etc/crontab
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Package: autolog
Version: 0.34-2

This is what autolog puts into the /etc/crontab file:

#-- autolog begin
0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * /usr/sbin/autolog
#-- autolog end

This doesn't work because the USER hasn't been specified - the entry should
be like this:

#-- autolog begin
*/10 *  * * *   root    /usr/sbin/autolog
#-- autolog end

(0,10 ... aren't really necessary, to avoid clutter */10 does the job)

Regards
