I came across this issue (those are my notes ;)
/etc/pamd./crond should contain
auth sufficient pam_rootok.so
Try adding an account line as well
/etc/pam.d/crond
account sufficient pam_rootok.so
But this won't affect my inability to log in as root. Both direct sshd
logins and 'su -' fails, the latter with "incorrect password". I know
the password for this system definitely.
