I could only find one answer for this topic via google, and the poster wasnt' sure if he was breaking something with his "fix".

I there a way to redirect the cron session messages from syslog to a different log?

i.e.: Aug 15 01:03:01 tn1 crond(pam_unix)[29303]: session opened for user root by (uid=0) Aug 15 01:03:07 tn1 crond(pam_unix)[29303]: session closed for user root

I tried cron.none and crond.none (and the correspondine lines to put those in their own file) in syslog.conf but neither redirected.

Edit /etc/syslog.conf and change it like this:

# Log anything (except mail) of level info or higher. # Don't log private authentication messages! *.info;mail.none;local5.none;authpriv.none;cron.none;auth.!=info /var/log/messages

that config line has just "auth.!=info" appended

# Log cron auth messages in a separate file. auth.info /var/log/cron.auth

add that instruction

After "service syslog restart" the syslog messages caused by cron will appear in /var/log/cron.auth only.
