The most likely problem is that one of packages has an incorrectly defined config file for logrotate and you're rotating yourself to death. A common culprit is mailman. Look in the /var/logs/mailman directory to see if it's obscene. You'll see files like log.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 from somebody assuming you can rotate log.*. If you've configured up2date, please run it and make sure you're current. The current mailman release has been available via up2date for several months and the problem is fixed in it. I've also seen the samba logs go nuts. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
