I have noticed for the last 5 years of OpenBSD usage that the cron log location is /var/cron/log, instead of /var/log/cron:
# $OpenBSD: syslog.conf,v 1.19 2015/11/26 15:25:14 deraadt Exp $ # *.notice;auth,authpriv,cron,ftp,kern,lpr,mail,user.none /var/log/messages kern.debug;syslog,user.info /var/log/messages auth.info /var/log/authlog authpriv.debug /var/log/secure cron.info /var/cron/log ... Why is it in /var/cron/log and not /var/log/cron by default? To me it makes more sense to have it all in /var/log/, but given it has been the default for several years, is there a reason (other than historic) that the default is like that? Is there any harm or issue with setting the log location of cron logs to /var/log/cron instead, or is it best to leave it in /var/cron/log? I am interested to know as I keep /var/log in a separate UFS partition mounted with rw,softdep,noatime,nodev,noexec,nosuid to store all the syslog logs, and /var/cron/log is the odd one out here.
