cron gets disabled during boot.
I have a few Solaris 10 boxes that when I reboot then cron gets disabled. I can do

Code:
svcadm enable cron

and the service start fine and run until I reboot and then it gets disabled.

Code:
svc:/system/cron:default (clock daemon (cron))
 State: disabled since Thu Dec 01 10:40:48 2011
Reason: Temporarily disabled by an administrator.
   See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-1S
   See: cron(1M)
   See: crontab(1)
   See: /var/svc/log/system-cron:default.log
Impact: This service is not running.

Here is the log for it (I think) I am not sure what I have in red below means really.

Code:
/var/svc/log/system-cron:default.log
