There are too many files for rm * to kill :( so I've been through it a bit at a time and erased the directories (hey, it only took a couple of hours!) Now syslog complains it can't find the files on startup, let's see what happens! Is there a known problem with the logrotate of that vintage? I was just about to have a look at the config file and see if that made any sense to me.

Get the free, highly-rated and very effective (IMO) > Zonelabs.com ZoneAlarm instead. > > never leaked as rated by Shields UP! http://grc.com/lt/scoreboard.htm I have used ZoneAlarm, and it is indeed a fine product. "Tiny Personal Firewall" is also free, highly-rated and very effective, and is also rated as "never leaked" by Shields Up. It suits my style a bit better than ZoneAlarm (the rules are more like "traditional" firewall rules, it's smaller, and it's said to be faster), which is why I'd like to use it. Unfortunately, I still can't get it to install :-(. Has anyone on the list successfully installed TPF on a Libretto?
