This phrase makes people think that you installed cron.service manually "somehow", that it is not the default installed file. So, what is the full path of that "cron.service" file? Assuming that it is "/usr/lib/systemd/system/cron.service", then please do: rpm -qf /usr/lib/systemd/system/cron.service rpm -qfi /usr/lib/systemd/system/cron.service systemctl cat cron.service And paste it all into your reply here.
