Individual cron files are in /var/spool/cron

/etc/crontab doesn't do anything.

Check /etc/cron.hourly, cron.daily, etc.

[sdstern at sds-desk etc]$ ls -ld cron*
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Aug 17 11:53 cron.d
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Sep 27 07:56 cron.daily
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root    0 Aug 13 08:53 cron.deny
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Aug 17 11:53 cron.hourly
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Jun 12 11:03 cron.monthly
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root  448 Oct 12  2009 crontab
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Oct 12  2009 cron.weekly

to edit an individual account, su to that account and use crontab -e.
