log file size due to unwanted messages
Hello, I am seeking help due to the subject matter. Specifically, I get a
message in /var/log/auth.log for each minute tick when cron runs. I also get
an entry in /var/log/daemon.log for each hit off the ypbind network protocol
that I do not even use (we have a busy network with lots of protocols). In
addition, I get no-never-mind messages in my samba log files even though
"debug level = 0" is set. All these combined are causing large files in my
/var/log directory. I would like to reduce these sizes and rid myself of so
many unnecessary messages.
I have seen tools for looking at large log files, but I just want to not have
them in the first place.
Please respond via e-mail.
Any help appreciated...
