Could you please tell me with at what times does cron send these
messages? That would help pin-point which specific tiger module is the
culprit. Alternatively, you could run 'tiger' as root (which runs all
the modules and generates an audit report) and send me the lines
before and after this error message.

/usr/bin/join: file 2 is not in sorted order

This looks like the same bug as
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=524783 but probably
in another module (i.e. not in check_inetd)
