There's one "bad" default that might like to get changed.  That is the
time that cron runs the daily scripts.  The current setting in
/etc/crontab is 1:59 in the morning.  Well, last Sunday that time
occurred twice as we switched from daylight to standard time.  The
times between 1am and 3am should be avoided for any system cron jobs
just because of this problem.

Could the default nightly cron job time get changed to something
outside of the 1am to 3am window?  The current time is just a bad
default.

Thanks.
