RedHat 8.0 and crontab

[Iraj Medifar]

Hi everyone:

I wonder if anyone has experienced that RedHat 8.0 does not allow a user to 
edit his crontab. It looks strange that the same edit on another box with 
Mandrake 8.2 does work.

In Mandrake, one opens a terminal and runs:

	export EDITOR=gedit
	crontab -e

Then follows by commands and saves the changes. That's it.

In RedHat 8.0, the same action results in this message: "no changes made to 
crontab".  You get the same message even when you log in as root and try to 
edit the user's crontab. 

Has anyone else had the same experience with RedHat 8? Is there a solution? Am 
I forgetting something in RedHat?

TIA
