Regardless of that admission in the README, it reads like out of the box, fcron should work as an anacron replacement. But it doesn't. I'm seeing this behaviour also on Debian/etch, so it's a definite problem with the fcron package.
On Debian, when I try to edit the systab as indicated there using "sudo fcrontab -e systab", it throws the following PAM error:
18:37:16 Could not open PAM session: Insufficient credentials to access authentication data
So it's broken in multiple ways, and doesn't work as described OOTB.
