   I have a different problem, my cron jobs never finish! but if I run them from
   the prompt, they do.  the two in question are from inn, news.daily and
   send-uucp (if there is anything to send)  

Just a suggestion - I have no such problems.

Check all your .logout type scripts.  If they are doing anything with
/dev/tty, this may cause problems.
