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.
