Description Christian Andretzky 2006-02-15 09:52:23 UTC 
I could see that user cronjobs (stored in /var/spoll/cron/tabs/'username') are not executed after a restart of the machine if the user is defined not local.
The reason seems to be that cron - if started - checks if the user cronjobs are legal. But at this time the networking environment is not running and the user could not be validated and the cron job is never executed.

Restarting cron after the network (and the network based authentication) is up solves the problem.
