Do you have mailman running? Mailman's log file naming scheme seems to interact badly with logrotate. In addition to running out of CPU, you may also find that you're running out of inodes. I saw one machine with a 2-megabyte /var/log/mailman directory. (That's the size of the directory itself, not the size of the files in it.) If you remove mailman, be sure to remove the log directory, too. -- David Lupo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
