	I have a syslog file which is set up to log as follows:

*.info;auth.info;mail.warning		/var/log/syslog

	That appears to work well.  Now, I wanted to refine
things a bit and not see cron logging there so I uncommented the
line in /etc/syslog.conf which now looks like:

cron.*						/var/log/cron

	That now sends the cron messages to the file
/var/log/cron like it should.  Is there any way I can cause the
cron messages to stop going to syslog while leaving it wide open
for anything but cron?

	Cron is chatty enough that I would like to confine its
reports every minute on the minute to one file.  Thank you
