I doubd it would help, 

[root at server rc3.d]# ll /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S90crond
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           15 Mar 23 21:59 
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S90crond -> ../init.d/crond

[root at server rc3.d]# ll /etc/init.d/crond
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root         1904 Mar 15 12:25 
/etc/init.d/crond

But I'll try it anyway later on.
