[CentOS] Logwatch, cron, and dovecot

I think I found it...and I think it is a bug.

Here is a file in usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logfiles/cron.conf

It appears this file tells it where to look for the cron file...and the cron
file location is dead wrong.

It should be /var/log/cron I believe.

Is this the correct fix to make logwatch once again grab my cron files since
5.5 update?
