The work machine doesn't seem to be recognizing changes made to cron files in /etc/cron.d, that is, a RELOAD of the changed file never happens and doesn't show in the log. I basically have to rccron restart to get the cron daemon to use the new file.
What command are you issueing to edit cron?
On both boxes, I tend to use either kate or mcedit to edit these files. I just edited one on my home box (the one that works) using mcedit, cron detected the change and did a RELOAD of the changed file within a minute, here's the log entry Apr 6 19:45:01 helphand /usr/sbin/cron[7027]: (*system*) RELOAD (/etc/cron.d/seccheck) Scott -- Ab urbe condita POPFile, the OpenSource EMail Classifier http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ Linux 2.6.11.4-21.11-default x86_64 SuSE Linux 9.3 (x86-64)
