Btw, just found Cron 4.0 beta 1, file has datestamp of 03/04/2000. Dates
inside file point to 17 September 1997. This is named "ISC Cron", but is
based heavily on vixie cron.
ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/cron

Note its mentioned in cert, probably due to its cron 3 code base...

Don't know if what's on the ISC site has the security fixes in place or not.
