Drew,
As rday said, this is harmless and probably a good thing to
leave set. If you simply don't want to see cron related
messages in your var/log/messages file, edit
/etc/syslog.conf and change the line that writes to
/var/log/messages to look like:
*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none
/var/log/messages
Notice the addition of ";cron.none" to the line. Any cron
related messages should still be written to the
/var/log/cron file, unless you change that line too (which I
would not recommend).
After changing the syslog.conf file, do a:
/etc/init.d/syslog restart
to force syslogd to reread its config file.
Cheers,
Ed
