I did some testing and found the following:
The command
| roor@peti:~$ crontab -e -u apache
gives me the log entry:
| Jun 27 11:01:33 peti crontab[6180]: (root) BEGIN EDIT (apac)
and when I save the tab file, it is indeed created for the user 'apac'
and not 'apache'.
When I do the following, though,
| apache@peti:~$ crontab -e
as user 'apache', it works just fine.
It seems like crontab(1) has a bug with the -u option.
