1. You have told us this system has a "/usr/etc" structure. OpenBSD doesn't. So this must have been added by you or another admin.

2. If I understood what you have posted here -- and I may not -- there was no root crontab, but one is included in the standard installation of OpenBSD. It must have been deleted by you or another admin.

It is only a guess, of course, but if both of these things are true, the questions you raise indicate a system which has has been customized or reconfigured. If not by you, then by a predecessor. If the latter, you should consider the value of a re-installation, in order to eliminate any unknowns, and any non-standard structures and software.

What is the history of this system?
