Can't get Cron to log anything


Running SuSE 9.0...

I read that to enable Cron logging you should add the following entry:

CRONLOG = YES

to your crontab file.

So I su-ed to root, entered crontab -e at the command line, and typed CRONLOG = YES on it's own line, and saved the file/installed the new crontab. The changes are holding.

Here is the problem - nothing is being logged. checked /usr/lib/cron/log (nothing)?

What is going on? I also read somewhere that "some linux systems don't allow cron logging".

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
