Well, this is a surprise. I upgraded from 10.4.11 (server) to 10.5 and then 10.5.1. I have tabs in /var/cron/tabs and duplicates in /usr/lib/cron/tabs, really /var/at/tabs. OK, now I know where things are. But ...
cron is running jobs only for me (the administrator) and is ignoring other users. And, yes, the files at.deny and cron.deny in /var/at are empty.
Any ideas how to make cron behave?iMac 21.5" 2.7 Ghz Intel Core i5, 8 gb, 1 tb

How to make cron behave? Know what you are doing when you touch it...
