I recently upgraded a site from Drupal 6.22 to 6.24 and ever since I can no longer run cron periodically from a cron tab.

If I try to run cron manually while logged in as user 1, it runs fine. If I try to run it logged out I get page not found, rather than the usual white screen for cron.

I know the sites token needs to be present to run cron but I can't see anything about this in Drupal 6.

Can anyone point anything out before I have to resort to enabling the poor mans cron module?

Some further testing produces some strange results for me.

If I submit the form on the modules page, I can run cron by typing www.mydomain.com/cron.php as a logged out user UNTIL cron tries to run form the cron tab. This then seems to trigger it to no longer work and show a page not found until I then repeat the process of saving the modules page.
