Hi all,

In my linux machine always produce this log around 1minute, its will repeat doing session 'open' and 'closed' as below:

<38>crond(pam_unix)[4117]: session opened for user root by (uid=0)
<38>crond(pam_unix)[4108]: session closed for user root

Can someone explaine to me what is this log meant and why its always open and closed session?

Regards,
Bryan

Most likely that is from a cron job you have running as root.  When the job starts, you get the session opened message, when it completes, you get the closed message.
