Yes, that should have been my question
Every user has its own crontab, no user id inside.
Edit: I noticed too late that the system crontab has a user field.
I'm not sure I undestand your question...
Are you asking what the word "root" in this line in my script means? :
?Code:01 * * * * root run-parts /opt/etc/cron.hourly
Then it is the user as which the command is ran....I will update my Tutorial to inform about this tonight....

Yes - I used the System Crontab, since the WL500g with olegs firmware is a one user system (yes...I do know that multiuser-setups CAN be made!)..
The idea behind my crontab implementation, is that after it is setup, all that is needed to run a task daily, weekly, monthly etc...is to place a script in a certain directory, and hence there is no need to "know" anything about cron to use it :-)
