Prevent cron from logging to /var/log/messages

Hi!

I've several cronjobs running on one of my boxes (ET4x00 @ openPLI 4.0) and they fill up my messages file in /var/log. (which isn't so nice )

this line in /etc/syslog.conf

*.*;auth,authpriv,cron.none -/var/log/messages 

should do the job. At least on my debian machine it does.

Of course i restarted /etc/init.d/syslog after saving the changes in the syslog.conf file.

Anybody an idea why this is not working?

Thanks a lot!

alex.
