Hi,
I was wondering if the logs in the /var/log directory
(especially /var/log/messages) are automatically deleted after a certain
period of time or when the log file gets to a certain size. Or, is this
something that needs to be set up manually by the user using a cron job or
something like that? I have just changed my iptables rules to include some
logging and the messages go to /var/log/messages. I'm not too worried about
getting my hard drive filled up with log messages, but I don't want to save
them forever either. Thank you.
