Using a plain * in the logrotate configuration files is wrong. This
creates infinite log files with expanding filenames. The mail and news
are the offenders here:
[root@fulgore:/etc/logrotate.d]# grep '*' *
apache:/var/log/httpd/*log {
syslog:/var/log/mail/* {
syslog:/var/log/news/* {
[root@fulgore:/etc/logrotate.d]# rpm -qf syslog
sysklogd-1.3.31-15mdk
[root@fulgore:/etc/logrotate.d]#
