Your previous message showed:
-rw------- 1 root root 0 Jul 7 16:07 /var/spool/cron/nobody
This will be the last modification date/time, and possibly the creation
date/time if the file was not modified at all. So something around July
7 presumably caused it. If you have the old /var/log/messages files from
around that date, then looking through those might show something. As
might a /var/log/yum.log file which could indicate if something was
automatically installed.
