It's not probably going to be running. Do you have a /etc/logrotate.d or
an /etc/logrotate.conf file? It's not a boot time serv
(they just take up space). Anything older than 30 days should be
irrelevant.
Best regards,
Adrian

Please don't post HTML.
Adrian, isn't logrotate working? Or do you want to clean the stuff up
now? At any rate, find would do the job:

Hi all,
My firewall has been up and running for the last 2
years now. While trying to cleanup the partitions I noticed a wholalotta log
files from various stuff. On the other hand I am not sure which are from what...
:/ I was wondering if there is something like a script or such to clean up

I had a HD crash and the normal recovery at boot up fixed 99% of the mess.
However, I have a directory which resist efforts to delete it. Have a
look-see at this "ls":
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Mine]$ ls -al BAD-DIR
total 116
drwxrwxrwx4 tko tko 4096 Mar 1 12:24 ./
drwxr-xr-x7 tko
