Package: cron
Version: 3.0pl1-127
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I have a file in /etc/cron.d that runs jobs as a user that is not in
/etc/passwd, but is in my NIS passwd database.   When I reboot the system the
job never runs, and there is no error message in the logs.  Other jobs in
/etc/cron.d that have entries in /etc/passwd work fine.   If I stop and start
cron using systemctl the job with the user that is not in /etc/passwd but is in
the NIS passwd database runs as scheduled.

I believe this is a problem with the start up order for cron.  On my system
cron is starting up before ypbind.   I think it should be starting up
afterwards.   I am not enough of an expert in systemd to figure out how to
set up dependencies for cron to fix this.
