OK. Two new tests have been added:
1. Check to see whether the user ID is 400 AND group ID is 401.
If so, then notify the user that there might be a problem with
/etc/passwd, along with instructions on how to fix the problem
(i.e., 'mkpasswd -l -u [User ID] >> /etc/passwd' or
'mkpasswd -d -u [User ID] >> /etc/passwd'
Provide the command-line option '-f' to force the script to
skip this test and proceed with other tests.
2. Check to see whether the directory /var/run has adequate permissions
so that a 'cron.pid' file may be created. If permissions are
insufficient, then notify the user about the problem and exit.
