weird cron log

 hi all...

i was looking on google. found some unresolved threads...

the machine is a fedora 3:
Linux cellphone 2.6.9-1.667 #1 Tue Nov 2 14:41:25 EST 2004 i686 athlon
i386 GNU/Linux

looking at the messages log i saw 2 weird things there today:

1. there are entries from "Jun 26 17:xx:xx" before entries from "Jun 26
16:xx:xx"?!? and entries from "Jun 26 09:36:51" that are in between "Jun
26 16:xx:xx" stamped records?!! how is that possible?!?

and
2. each hour after the first minute of it there is something like:
Jun 26 15:01:01 cellphone crond(pam_unix)[19571]: session opened for user
root by (uid=0)

there are no cron.hourly files.. and nothing for crontab -l. so i'm not
sure what that entry means...
any ideas?!

any clarification would be appreciated...  thanks......

here is a log piece:
