Description Benno Schulenberg 2005-04-24 10:23:30 UTC

In /etc/init.d/vixie-cron it says 'need clock'.  But stopping the clock service does not unset the system clock, so this action shouldn't stop the cron daemon.   And in order to start cron, a fully accurate time isn't really needed.  So it would be better that vixie-cron 'use clock'.

Fixed.  Going to wait on doing a revbump, however.
