Hi Robie, Thank you for digging into this. There is a difference in the
log entries posted by the cron service. On my system, it does post

Apr 05 14:57:01 logcheck CRON[6191]: pam_unix(cron:session): session
opened for user root(uid=0) by root(uid=0)

while on your system, it does post

Apr 05 14:57:01 logcheck CRON[6191]: pam_unix(cron:session): session
opened for user root(uid=0) by (uid=0)

which differs in the second occasion of the user name.

"apt list cron --installed" says:
cron/noble,now 3.0pl1-184ubuntu2 amd64

I have no idea where to configure the format of the logging entries, nor
have I modified /etc/crontab, /usr/lib/systemd/system/cron.service or
/etc/default/cron. Can you give a hint where to search?
