syslogd is logging but cron jobs


Hi,

I found that syslogd is not logging cron jobs after a computer restart:
  These are working cron jobs that had been successfully logged
(before restart):
    Mar 23 22:55:01 Penguin-PC /usr/sbin/cron: PID 7432: (Penguin) CMD ...
    Mar 23 23:00:01 Penguin-PC /usr/sbin/cron: PID 5204: (Penguin) CMD ...
    Mar 23 23:05:01 Penguin-PC /usr/sbin/cron: PID 8328: (Penguin) CMD ...
    Mar 23 23:10:02 Penguin-PC /usr/sbin/cron: PID 8476: (Penguin) CMD ...

  After a restart:
    Mar 23 23:13:04 Penguin-PC syslogd (GNU inetutils 1.7): restart

  Things are gone:
    Mar 23 23:26:46 Penguin-PC crontab: PID 5928: (Penguin) BEGIN EDIT (Penguin)
    Mar 23 23:27:41 Penguin-PC crontab: PID 5928: (Penguin) REPLACE (Penguin)
    Mar 23 23:27:41 Penguin-PC crontab: PID 5928: (Penguin) END EDIT (Penguin)
    <End of File>

  And I'd tested to ensure cron is running properly:
    I'd created a 5/min job logging to file:
      LastRun: Fri Mar 23 23:30:01 CST 2012
      LastRun: Fri Mar 23 23:35:01 CST 2012
      LastRun: Fri Mar 23 23:40:01 CST 2012
      LastRun: Fri Mar 23 23:45:01 CST 2012
      LastRun: Fri Mar 23 23:50:02 CST 2012

Any ideas that why syslogd is not logging cron jobs, and how do I fix it?
