strange messages to root, possibly SA related?

Oh yeah? That file DID NOT exist until I ran kcron yesterday morning to
generate some scheduled work for root. In fact, kcron crashed the first
2-3 times I ran it because it was missing. I finally touched it, and
this was then written by kcron:
----------------
SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
MAILTO=root
HOME=/
# run-parts
1 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly
#
2 4 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily
#
22 4 * * 7 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly
#
42 4 1 * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthly
# This file was written by KCron. Copyright (c) 1999, Gary Meyer
# Although KCron supports most crontab formats, use care when editing.
# Note: Lines beginning with "#\" indicates a disabled task.
------------------------------
The above has absolutely nothing to do with the jobs I needed done, but
that files is dated yesterday morning while I was working in kcron. I've
been running FC6 for about a week now. Where it went I have NDI, but
this was a fresh install on a formatted drive, so theres something a bit
odd if it wasn't installed.
