Why would root password affect this?  Seems more likely that the setup file in cron.d got somehow mangled...

Perhaps root password expired.

Hello, 
I have a Redhat 9 machine and suddently, for unknown reason, the daily 
cron 
job in /etc/cron.daily just stopped working. The users cron job are still 
being run fine, and crond service is running. It's just the scripts 
in /etc/cron.daily is never run again, ie. logwatch is stopped sending me 
email, logrotate stopped rotating logs, etc. 

I've poked around the server but haven't found anything obvious. Any help, 

suggestions ? 

Thanks in advance.
