Found the problem.
Will put complete details on a reply to a post I did in questions.. for 
the archives.

Short version..
A file called /etc/nsswitch.conf needed to be changed because I compiled 
the kernel without NIS.

However I still think that cron failing because it can not send an email 
is a strange "feature". :-)
