AFAIR, the OP asked for 10.0 -- this sysconfig variable is new in 10.1.

puma:~ $ cat /etc/SuSE-release
SUSE LINUX 10.0 (i586)
VERSION = 10.0
puma:~ $ grep DAILY /etc/sysconfig/cron
puma:~ $ grep DAILY /usr/lib/cron/run-crons
puma:~ $

The better solution for 10.1 should be mentioned on the Wiki as well, however; I 
think we're in full agreement for that.

Cheers,
