    Can someone shed some light on this for me? When (and why) did
    cron start listening on an UDP port?

    And no, this is not an April Fools Day gag (that has been the
    most common response to my queries on this :-)

    $ ps -ef | grep cron
        root 212 1 0 Mar 30 ? 0:00 /usr/sbin/cron
    $ lsof -p 212
    COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME

    [snip]

    cron 212 root 5u IPv4 0x300017039e8 0t0 UDP *:32820 (Idle)

    [snip]

    $
