Invalid characters cause misleading permission error

Adam,

thanks for that report, it's very helpful. I think at least one other person 
might be seeing this 
new behavior on 10.5 as well.

If you'd like to donate, simply go to the CronniX homepage (from the Help menu) 
and click on 
"Donations" on the navigation bar on the left.

Cheers,
Sven

I'm trying to use Cronnix in Leopard - it looks like a great program, but it 
isn't working with my 
system. I receive the following error:

Insufficient privileges to write crontab.

WAIT

I just figured it out—!

The problem is not permissions. The problem is that I'm pasting in a command 
with a return 
character in it!! /Use
rs/z****/bin

Instead of /Users/z****/bin

OK so instead I actually have a minor bug report: if you paste in a command 
with illegal 
characters, like \r in it, you get the "Insufficient privileges..." message

Just thought you should know :-)

BTW, Cronnix appears to be a great program, can we make donations?
