i don't have /etc/cron.allow or /etc/cron.deny so all users will be able to run cron.
What happened differently is that i have setup all user accounts to auth through an LDAP database. Maybe this may be the problem. I'm not sure if NIS has this problem also. if restart cron. it will run the first job that it finds at the right time and stop there after.
