Bumping up the the log file size is not the answer. In my experience I had two problems. In the old excite@home network, there was a broadcast packet sent out on 224.0.0.1--I think--every three minutes. I had to remove the logging of this deny message. Otherwise, my /var partition filled up. Likewise, the new cox.net network that I now live on has lots of activity to deny and not log. I don't know what it is and don't really care. I just turn off the logging. > > Have checked which files are the biggest ( ls -l /var/log ) and > looked at them ( cat /var/log/big_file ) to see what messages are > causing the logs to grow so large? > > --Brad If you are unaccustomed to reading the log files or need some help, please post some of the entries from you messages file in /var/log.
