I hadn't seen that message - but then again, when I installed fcron the
/etc/cron.* stuff wasn't especially important to me... so I might easily
have ignored it at the time. It's a pity this sort of "essential"
warning isn't available for all packages as some kind of Gentoo
knowledge base - I guess I could read the ebuild files - but it would be
far more convenient to have tips/tricks/gotchas available annotated with
each package - say on http://packages.gentoo.org/... Hmmm.
In any case, thanks - "crontab /etc/crontab" seems the perfect resolution.
