try this
1. mkuser userid
2. crontab -e : save it
3. rmuser -p userid
*** cut from man pages ***
When you finish creating entries and exit the file, the crontab command
copies
it into the /var/spool/cron/crontabs directory and places it in a file named
for
your current user name. If a file with your name already exists in the
crontabs
directory, the crontab command overwrites it

Subject: how to update cron daemon without crontab -e?
Our security admin deleted a user who had an active
cron job running once an hour. Now I'm getting the
mail message:
Cron: 0481-134 Cannot set the process credentials for
user <user>
If I (manually) remove the cron job from the former
user's crontab file (or just delete the crontab file
altogether), how can I then get the cron daemon to
update and recognize that it's not supposed to be
executing that script anymore? Can I just kill the
/usr/sbin/cron process and let it start again?
