12 I'm not sure how fast logrotate checks the size but it sounded like his
13 was getting big pretty fast. It may not would have checked often enough
14 to do him any good. It is a good idea tho. I do my emerge log and
15 messages by size as well. I know when hal or something thinks I have a
16 disc in the DVD drive but don't, it can put a LOT in messages.

18 Good idea tho.
