If you use a distro like Redhat suse or debian they delete old logs onece a
month, logs get changed every week, so they dont fill up your disk space,
you can change the way the logs rotate in thoses distro's.
If you have slackware a simple script run by crontab once every few days
will take care of the large files.
You can also change the amount of messages via /etc/syslog.conf
man syslog
man syslog.conf
