cleaning out log files?

[Armin Arh]

Check "/etc/newsyslog.conf"
All log-files you like to have rotated, should be mentioned there.

System owned logs are in there per default.

"du -k /var" will tell you where your space is being "consumed".
Maybe your "/var/mail/root" is growing...

How big is your /var anyway?
