My current configuration is:
# head -1 /etc/shadow
So if I understand correctly it is not possible to use cron.d with simply the
"!" character in the shadow file? I need to have "!" + password? do I
understand that correctly?

The '!' Means root login is disabled, not that the root account is disabled. su

with the cron.d system. I have changed the password and then lock
