The current system table is not able to have a username in it, as which the specified command should run. I even think this is a must, as incron "borrows" its name from cron, which is able to do so. Also it is a must in my opinion as the systemwide directory could (and should) be used with packages, that like to install incron entries in the future.

It is currently possible, to add a different incrontab for each user. Just as it is in cron. I am not aware of the syntax, how this can be done in the system-wide incrontab. Does anyone know a syntax example how this would look like in cron?
