As per your subject line, it sounds like a bad cron job alright. I'd
suggest you check through (read "edit") your personal crontab (and also
/etc/crontab) for jobs containing "/sbin/rmmod -as" in its command line.
Just to confuse the issue a bit more for your convenience, Redhat also
ships with a selection of /etc/cron.* directories containing executables
which are executed regularly (based on the value of "*") these are really
just regular cron jobs configured in /etc/crontab, but that doesn't help if
the culprit happens to be in one of them. If you don't find it elsewhere
first that would be the next place to look.
