Hi
We have a big problem with one our server and with cron daemon. A week ago
we had multiple cron daemon on server (first time 20jun00). One was parent
and other (6) were children. ??? Every child had starting up jobs from
crontab files. 
We killed all cron children and their jobs, but the problem was detected
again at 23jun00 and 25jun00 a today too.
#ps -ef | grep cron
root       1777      1  0.0   Jun 08 ??           3:08.71 /usr/sbin/cron
root      20195   1777 57.9   Jun 25 ??          13:22:32 /usr/sbin/cron
root      20281   1777 87.5   Jun 25 ??          12:09:33 /usr/sbin/cron
root      20301   1777 76.6   Jun 25 ??          13:08:25 /usr/sbin/cron
root      20329   1777 47.6   Jun 25 ??          13:04:33 /usr/sbin/cron
root      20395   1777 58.6   Jun 25 ??          13:16:09 /usr/sbin/cron
root      20767   1777 48.1   Jun 25 ??          13:06:58 /usr/sbin/cron
root      21404  26356  0.0 09:52:24 ttyp4        0:00.01 grep cron
The server is AS4100 with 4.0E + ASE1.5 and 8jun00 we made upgrade
patch_kit2 to patch_kit4. 
I think that in patch4 isn't any upgrade cron daemon.
The server is in production state and I can't a lot test.
Any suggestion?
Thanks
