What about "crontab -e"?

sudo crontab -e will edit the *root* crontab -- the user crontab for the user *root*, which is /private/var/cron/tabs/root.
This is a different file than the *system* crontab, which is /etc/crontab. It is this system crontab which holds the schedule for the regular maintenance jobs, not the root crontab.
