Hi list!

On all my 4.x boxes (didn't see this on 3.x) I get this in /var/log/messages the whole day:

Aug 17 04:02:05 weblinux1 crond(pam_unix)[32149]: session closed for user root

...

Some boxes have up to 770 of these events per day

Look in /etc/cron.*.

OK, so I guess that for every cron job that is run as root such an event is written to /var/log/messages? Strange that it doesn't report which cronjob it has processed, the report as it is now is rather useless for any use.

Can I disable those messages?
