Excessive logging by cron

Hi,

While looking at all the system logs, I noticed a lot of, in my eyes, unnecessary cron log entries in var/cron. As far as I'm concerned they are only needed when debugging cron issues.

So I went ahead and looked at /etc/default/cron:
CROMLOG=NO

Obviously a typo, so I corrected it:
CRONLOG=NO.


Restarted cron of course, but it doesn't make a difference, so appreantly we are using a different config file?

Openslug & busybox is a bit limited when it comes to CRON features. I also tried to get rid of the ongoing cron and thttpd entries, but couldn't find a good way. Any idea on that is welcome.
