Hi all... Maybe I'm being too paranoid, but I just wanted to know what may be going on if I have a lot of messages in /var/log/messages about root sessions being opened and closed very quickly, for instance:
Mar 23 16:55:01 Blackhawk crond(pam_unix)[6028]: session opened for user root by (uid=0) Mar 23 16:55:01 Blackhawk crond(pam_unix)[6028]: session closed for user root
As you can see the session lasts less than a second. What does this mean? Are these processes that require root access that open the session and as soon as these services are done, close it??
Thanks!
PS: I know this may not be the best place to post this, if so, what would be the best place to post this?

It's cron.
