It is quite different from mine:

bombadillo:~ # cat  /etc/pam.d/crond
#
# The PAM configuration file for the cron daemon
#
#
auth     sufficient     pam_rootok.so
auth     include        common-auth
account  include        common-account
password include        common-password
session  required       pam_loginuid.so
session  include        common-session

And that is the default configuration:

bombadillo:~ # l  /etc/pam.d/crond
- -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 287 2009-10-24 06:14 /etc/pam.d/crond

Please give the output of this command:

grep PERMISSION_SECURITY /etc/sysconfig/security

You might have "secure" or "paranoid" in there. Default is "easy local".

No, it is not. This is the output on my system:

bombadillo:~ # crontab
crontab: usage error: file name must be specified for replace
usage:  crontab [-u user] file
        crontab [-u user] [ -e | -l | -r ]
                (default operation is replace, per 1003.2)
        -e      (edit user's crontab)
        -l      (list user's crontab)
        -r      (delete user's crontab)
