Bug Description
Binary package hint: cron
Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS
cron 3.0pl1-106ubuntu5
Problem: After a reboot, cron does not start cronjobs that have been created by NIS users. Instead the following error message is issued:
cron[1022]: (nisuser) ORPHAN (no passwd entry)
I guess the reason is, that the user is not yet available, when cron is started, because the network and NIS service start later.
