I was unaware of this before, but yes, I do have it--and exactly like 
this. I was wondering where all of this was kicking in from, and perhaps 
the answer to my problem lies here as well. Concerning the cron.daily line:

> 25 6  * * * root  test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || run-parts --report /
> etc/cron.daily

Does this mean that if my computer is not turned on at 6:25 am, the jobs 
in that directory will not run that day?

Thanks,
