I get Logwatch reports every day, filled with "ORPHAN (no passwd entry)".
Google search revealed this as a problem with cron jobs for users who
do not exist in /etc/passwd. I have only 2 users with cron jobs, and they both
exist.

Anyone else seeing this problem? Any ideas on how to fix it?

Not sure on this one... Check there are entries in /etc/shadow as well?

If you can't resolve it, pop in a support ticket and we'll take a look.
