For the first message, you must have installed fix_netstorage_route, as
no normal RPM installs things in /usr/local/sbin.  Check the crontab for
the root user to see if you're launching that first script every 5
minutes.  As root, do:

	# crontab -l

If so, and you want to change it, edit the crontab by:

	# crontab -e

As to the second, mrtg does run every 5 minutes.  If you don't want it
to, disable mrtg.  That's contained in the /etc/cron.d/mrtg file.  Just
edit it and comment out the line that starts "*/5"
