Cron Logs?
One of my server is a vserver and every 5 minutes I get some logs similar to below:
Jan 15 22:35:01 alpha kernel: audit(1137324901.564:302): user pid=4452 uid=0 auid=4294967295 msg='PAM accounting: user=root exe="/usr/sbin/crond" (hostname=?, addr=?, terminal=cron result=Success)'
Jan 15 22:35:01 alpha kernel: audit(1137324901.592:303): user pid=4453 uid=0 auid=4294967295 msg='PAM accounting: user=root exe="/usr/sbin/crond" (hostname=?, addr=?, terminal=cron result=Success)'

Jan 15 22:35:01 alpha kernel: audit(1137324901.666:305): user pid=4453 uid=0 auid=4294967295 msg='PAM session open: user=root exe="/usr/sbin/crond" (hostname=?, addr=?, terminal=cron result=Cannot make/remove an entry for the specified session)'
Jan 15 22:35:01 alpha kernel: audit(1137324901.692:306): user pid=4452 uid=0 auid=4294967295 msg='PAM session close: user=root exe="/usr/sbin/crond" (hostname=?, addr=?, terminal=cron result=Permission denied)'
Jan 15 22:35:01 alpha kernel: audit(1137324901.718:307): user pid=4453 uid=0 auid=4294967295 msg='PAM session close: user=root exe="/usr/sbin/crond" (hostname=?, addr=?, terminal=cron result=Permission denied)'
I get the same logs every 5 minutes, and I am concern about the ones with 'Cannot make/remove an entry for the specified session' and 'Permission denied'. Does anyone know what could be the cause of it?
Thanks in advance,
Steve
