If you're saying that in the non-Production environment it works both
interactively and from cron and ssh, then I can only assume that something
in the FAQ and User's Guide is in play on that machine.  In general, access
to network resources is restricted for services, which is what crond and
sshd are.  You need to follow the advice in the FAQ and/or User's Guide
(the ones you referenced in your first post) to enable access for crond and
sshd.
