Hmm, doesn't do anything weird/wrong on my RH6.2 server:
[aaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbcccccccccc@obelix mark]$ crontab -e
no crontab for aaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbaaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbaaaaaaaaaab - using an empty one
crontab: installing new crontab
[aaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbcccccccccc@obelix mark]$ crontab
crontab: usage error: file name must be specified for replace
usage: crontab [-u user] file
crontab [-u user] { -e | -l | -r }
(default operation is replace, per 1003.2)
-e (edit user's crontab)
-l (list user's crontab)
-r (delete user's crontab)
[aaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbcccccccccc@obelix mark]$
It runs vixie-cron-3.0.1-40...
