I run Solaris 10. The cron on the zones ran just fine but my backup failed (uses root to log in) and my crons all failed to run. The shadow looked fine and the passwd file was fine. I did a simple # passwd root and then tested cron and it worked fine. A bug perhaps?? Resetting the password did it for me. I run Solaris 10.

I've written some really bad algorithms as well, but it's fun seeing what other people have come up with after solving a problem--there are some amazingly clever ideas to speed these problems up.

You really did get hit. For me Akismet and not allowing un-moderated posts does the trick, but if I got lots of comments that wouldn't be practical.
