Cron (solaris) "bad user" error

cron (solaris) "bad user" error message in /var/log/cron
--------------------------------------------------------

Cron needs to be able to access a shell as the cron user in order to
do its thing. The easiest work-around for this is to edit the
/etc/shadow file and change the *LK* to *NP* for the affected
accounts.
