What do you mean by "the root crontab file"?

root's crontab would be /var/spool/cron/root and I don't have one of those on my system.

[root@new ~]# ls -l /etc/cron.d
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 188 May 18 07:11 sysstat
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1290 May 15 13:46 vz

Mine aren't executable... yet there are references to them in /var/log/cron

[root@new ~]# grep vz /var/log/cron | tail -2
Aug 18 20:55:01 new crond[30772]: (root) CMD (/usr/share/vzctl/scripts/vpsreboot)
Aug 18 20:55:01 new crond[30775]: (root) CMD (/usr/share/vzctl/scripts/vpsnetclean)

I do notice that most of the scripts in /etc/cron.daily and the other .period dirs do have scripts that are executable.

While I don't think chmod'ing /etc/cron.d/vz to 755 hurt anything... like I said... it didn't fix anything either. If chmod'ing it to 755 somehow created a /var/spool/cron/root (or added to an existing crontab for root) with references to vz scripts... then ok, I believe you.

I know you were kidding there... because you really don't have much reason to install a gui environment on your VPSes anyway. You might want some gui admin apps that can be run by tunneling them over ssh... but you really don't want or need a gui desktop on your VPS.
