Moving some stuff out of /var/log/sys.log

Hi folks,

In looking at /var/log/sys.log, I notice that there's a ton of crap showing
up there that I don't really want, which, incidentally, appear in other log
files... Such as cron jobs running (using fcron from BLFS), which appears
in /var/log/cron.log. I don't want that to show up in /var/log/sys.log! :)

How can I go about NOT having the stuff show up in the sys.log file, yet
appear in the cron.log file? Here is what my /etc/syslog.conf looks like:

----
# Begin /etc/syslog.conf
auth,authpriv.* -/var/log/auth.log
*.*;auth,authpriv.none -/var/log/sys.log
daemon.* -/var/log/daemon.log
kern.* -/var/log/kern.log
user.* -/var/log/user.log
mail.* -/var/log/mail.log
*.emerg *
local2.* -/var/log/boot.log
cron.* -/var/log/cron.log
----
Thanks in advance, folks.  :)
	Dave
