Bad cron job somewhere, unless the script is totally breaking
all syslog conventions.

The system crontab is in /etc/crontab, user crontabs are in
/var/spool/cron/ .  At least that's how it is on Linux with vixie
cron.  /etc/crontab typically contains a few environment settings
and the scripts that call everything in cron.hourly, cron.daily,
cron.weekly, and so forth.  "grep -r promisc /var/spool/cron/ " and
see what you come up with, and edit whichever user's crontab has
the command in it.
