Could it be that in the file /etc/pam.d/crond the line wiich starts with
session should be terminated with the 'quiet' statement ?
Like this :
#
auth sufficient /lib/security/$ISA/pam_rootok.so
auth required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
auth required pam_env.so
account required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
session required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
quiet
# Sets up user limits, please uncomment and read /etc/security/limits.conf
# to enable this functionality.
# session required pam_limits.so
I havent tried this yet, but my messages file gets filled with these
messages too. This kind of logging fron cron/pam is abnormally if you
ask me.
Try deleting the "authpriv.none" bit of the /var/log/messages line in
/etc/syslog.conf and see if that goes away.
