REPOST - cron syslog entries since FC4 -> FC6 upgrade.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I did not get any suggestions as to how to suppress these
messages, so I am rephrasing my question.

 
 To Those who know syslog well:
 
 I upgraded from FC4 -> FC6 via CD's in upgrade
 mode and now I am getting lots of cron entries
 in /var/log/secure.  Comparisons between the FC4
 /etc/syslog.conf file and the current copy show 
 it was not updated.  These crond:session messages are
 not useful to me and they can obscure real security messages.
 
 I see lots of entries like the following:
 Dec  6 13:04:01 styma8 crond[29897]: pam_unix(crond:session): 
 session opened for user root by (uid=0)
 Dec  6 13:04:02 styma8 crond[29897]: pam_unix(crond:session): 
 session closed for user root
 Dec  6 13:05:01 styma8 crond[29913]: pam_unix(crond:session): 
 session opened for user root by (uid=0)
 Dec  6 13:05:02 styma8 crond[29913]: pam_unix(crond:session): 
 session closed for user root
 
 My /etc/syslog.conf file is pretty simple (see below).  The only thing
 I am directing to /var/log/secure is authpriv.* which I believe is the
 default.  I would prefer to send these cron messages to 
 either /var/log/cron
 or the bit bucket.  This leaves /var/log/secure more uncluttered.
 
 Can someone suggest a change to /etc/syslog.conf which would 
 affect the
 change I want?  Thank you for your time.
