cron doesn't run (was: Re: login and ssh: can't authenticate)

[ASH, JAMES (SBCSI)]

One thing that seems to be an issue with this is that, if my pc isn't
networked (not connected to our lan), then cron works.  Has anyone else
experienced this?

I and several others have posted this same questions many times. AFAIK, no
one has a solution yet. We are all eager to find one.
Thanks.

Dunno.  Try the various hints on this mailing list.  Is CYGWIN=ntsec?
Is your /etc/group ok?
