likewise-open killing cronjobs?

[tr333]

Before installing likewise-open and joining a domain, there appeared to be no problems with the system running its cronjobs.
auth.log:

Jan 27 16:15:01 ubuntu CRON[21823]: pam_unix(cron:session): session opened for user www-data by (uid=0)
Jan 27 16:17:01 ubuntu CRON[21928]: pam_unix(cron:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0)
Jan 27 16:17:01 ubuntu CRON[21928]: pam_unix(cron:session): session closed for user root
Jan 27 16:18:12 ubuntu CRON[21823]: pam_unix(cron:session): session closed for user www-data
Jan 27 16:20:01 ubuntu CRON[22097]: pam_unix(cron:session): session opened for user www-data by (uid=0)
Jan 27 16:23:13 ubuntu CRON[22097]: pam_unix(cron:session): session closed for user www-data
Jan 27 16:25:01 ubuntu CRON[22380]: pam_unix(cron:session): session opened for user www-data by (uid=0)
Jan 27 16:28:12 ubuntu CRON[22380]: pam_unix(cron:session): session closed for user www-data

After joining the server to a domain with likewise-open, it appears that the cronjobs are failing.
auth.log:

Is this a problem with likewise-open, or something i failed to configure properly?

This is happening on my PC also. It's an Ubuntu 8.04 desktop. I just started researching the issue. I'll keep you posted if I figure it out.

Found this... not much help though...

Do some Googling for likewise cron expired passwords - it only seems to take place during the countdown to password expiration.
