It didn't seem to be happening in my case. Last night was the first time I can see that logrotate did anything in /var/log. I use my computer daily almost w/o exception. I had compressed log files and nice clean replacement ones this morning. First time since install on Oct 4. Thanks for your reply. All the best to you. :-) --Angus "We give thanks to the Creator for the fruits of life.
