The first thing you should look at is temporary files in /tmp and /var/tmp. Most of those files can be safely deleted. The second area that you need to look at is your logs. Make sure that the logs rotate. In SuSE 7.x, the file that controls the log rotations is /etc/logfiles. You probably want to delete or archive old logs. If a log file is being rotated properly, (look at /var/log/mail* You'll set /var/log/mail and several .gz files each dated. Each time a log is rotated, gzips the old log file, and renames it with a date. You also want to look at your spool files, especially mail and ftp. If you have users on your system other than yourself, then they could be downbloading stuff. On 6 Sep 2002 at 13:42, Jacob Fierberg wrote:
