    Did some more digging, finally found savelog.  If you check your
/etc/cron.daily and /etc/cron.weekly, you'll find savelog is called by sysklogd.
change the -c 4 to something higher, and in the other, the -c 7 to something
higher.  Wonder if it'd be a good idea for someone to stick

# Note: System logs in /var/log are handled by daily and weekly crontab's in
$crontab_location

somewhere at the top of /etc/logrotate.conf =)

Now i'm off to fix my logrotate =)  Thanks for the tip Andreas, and thanks to
Paul for asking about logrotate, got me thinking on the right track.
