This is of course a more recent installation. I just found that in /etc/cron.daily there is a file with a script (directory name changed for confidentiality) cd /a/b/c/d find . -name '*log*' -exec rm -f {} \; So if there is no /a/b/c/d it will stay in whatever directory it is in (probably root). That is why like initlog, login_pam,so etc. have been removed.
You're boned. Reinstall. And fire the wiseguy who wrote that script.
I just don't know why the stuff in cron.daily ran in the afternoon when in /etc/crontabit is set to go at like 4:00 AM and this was installed much after 4:00 AM, so the cron.daily really shouldn't have run until the next day.
