    Having /var/log/cron set to 600 will not affect user's cron jobs.
    
    Dillon cron's logging is either done through syslog or from the output of
    crond.  On the other hand, I don't think logging is going to /var/log/cron
    by default. It just gets created upon start up.
    
    from the rc.d script that starts cron
    
    # Start crond (Dillon's crond):
    # If you want cron to actually log activity to /var/adm/cron, then change
    # -l10 to -l8 to increase the logging level.
    /usr/sbin/crond -l10 >>/var/adm/cron 2>&1
    
    (note in slackware /var/adm is a link to /var/log)
    
    Hope this helps,
    Sam
