Savings Time on cron(8). If we ever introduce some work-around code for
handling jobs scheduled for a time that "doesn't happen" due to DST,
the section should be renamed to IMPLEMENTATION NOTES.

Use getpwnam before getpwuid since two users with same uids can exists
(affects new login classes code only)
The same fixes as in inetd: by default run `system crontab things' with
daemon login class now, not restrict them to user class breaking
compatibility with old way (so-called nobody limits problem)
Implement user[:group][/login-class] syntax in system crontab
for more flexible control (the same as in inetd)
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
