Cobalt download  changed it to new version with the same date.
So, Most user didn't know that.  The old version can't auto start CROND when reboot.
Very bad announcement.

vixie-cron Update 4.0.1 ( new version )
---------> RaQ3-All-Security-4.0.2-9648.pkg < ------------

Note: If you had installed version 4.0.1 of this patch please install this new version. It was
     discovered that after rebooting the RaQ3 with version 4.0.1 some errors would occur.
     Update 4.0.2 corrects this. 

     This patch upgrades the version of vixie-cron to 3.0.1-40. This version of vixie-cron
     addresses the following security issue, which existed in previous versions. A buffer
     overflow existed in the 'crontab' command: if called by a user with a username longer than
     20 characters, it would be possible for that user to gain elevated privileges.
