SCO License security - another flame

[Robert White]

It is completely effective to su to another accoutn and use
crontab to set the crontab entry into place for that
(su(ed) account) but keep in mind the following:

Crontab uses the user environment to determine who to set
the cron-table for.

If you "su news; crontab newtable" you will be setting the
cron-table for the original logname, not news.

The correct method is to "su - news; crontab newtable"
so that the all-important    ^  setup user environment
features take effect!  If in doubt, try "crontab -l"
on your system after su(ing) to check which table you
will be altering.
