Check the directory

/var/adm/cron

It must exist and have permissions

Yes the

/var/adm/cron should exist with proper permissions

The important thing is that make sure that the configuration file of cron

/etc/rc.config.d/cron

has
CRON=1
for startup

Then do a
/sbin/init.d/cron start

If you do not want cron to start make
CRON=0 in the configuration file
