Description mwm 2001-02-28 15:40:01 UTC 
	The FAQ entry on dealing with root errors after mangling
	crontab is slightly out of date. In particular, it suggests
	just removing the crontab file, instead of the (slightly more
	correct) -r option to crontab. Personally, I feel that people
	should be using the periodic mechanism for
	daily/weekly/monthly tasks instead of cron anyway.

Fix: Here's a patch to the faq's book.sgml that replaces the suggestion to
delete the file with one to use "crontab -r". It also adds a paragraph
recommending periodic for daily/weekly/monthly tasks, along with a
pointer to the man pages.

	<mike
How-To-Repeat: 
	Read the FAQ and the crontab man page.

Committed, thanks. 

There was a typo in one of the elements in the patch.  If you run 
"make lint" before submitting the PR it should check that the markup 
is syntactically correct.  Cheers.
