Cron jobs are actually stored in /etc/crontab.

Most of us <smile> us crontab to point to directories.  As does the Sun
Cobalt RaQ.

You can add lines to /etc/crontab either to run individual jobs or to
point to specific directories.

"man cron", "man crontab" and "man 5 crontab" are your friends <smile>.
