Sorry, posted with wrong subject line

Had lots of replies on this one - thank you everyone. In short:

[SUMMARY]

The ONE CRON PROCESS handles the cron jobs for all the users.

EACH USER has his own crontab file. [See the manpage for crontab to
control permission on using crontab.]

The file specified is the crontab file for the user "sys".
As root, type:
      crontab -e sys
   and add the lines there.

[ANOTHER REPLY]

I believe what you are asking is whether or not you can have multiple
crontab files per user. The answer is no.
