Hi All,
I have noticed that the log files on a box of mine are getting larger than
expected. I ran logrotate by hand to see if I get any errors and this came
up:
# logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.conf
error: line too long in state file /var/lib

Not sure if it is possible to differentiate between rogue and legit clients,
