crond stdin is /dev/console?

I notice on several of our RHAT9 boxes that crond holds
/dev/console open as its stdin - can this be as intended?
My Debian box has all of crond's descriptors set to /dev/null,
and it seems like allowing crond to hold /dev/console open
might present the opportunity for it to compete for input
against processes that have /dev/console open legitimately...
