If you see too many of these lines:
root@s1 trungson]# tail /var/log/messages Oct 16 12:36:01 s1 crond(pam_unix)[21821]: session closed for user root
Here is how to redirect it to a more appropriate place
[root@s1 trungson]# more /etc/syslog.conf ... *.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none;auth.!=info /var/log/messages ... # Log cron stuff, add auth.info to redirect cron logging cron.*;auth.info /var/log/cron

very nice.
was looking for exactly this.
1 short blog entry can be so much more valuable than 15 pages of forums discussions like “try this, that and the other. I have not tried this myself”.
While I am waiting the 5 minutes for cron to wake up I am browsing your blog.
…
nice blog.
and,yes, of course the auth.info messages go now into /var/log/cron
thanks a bunch!
