Thanks Mark...
I made some changes to see what compress will do for me, plus trimmed
down the # of logs from 4 to 2 - I'll see what happens...
Do I have to do anything else to tell it to use this updated conf file,
or will it see the changes already?
Thanks again...

Its fairly easy to limit log file size if you use logrotate. In the
configuration specification for each log you can give it a size
parameter, which will rotate the log when it hits that size.
Example:
# sample logrotate configuration file
/var/log/messages {
rotate 5
weekly
size=100k
postrotate
/sbin/killall -HUP syslogd
endscript
}

Is there a way to globally set how big log files can get?
i.e. maillog, maillog.1, maillog.2
I was hoping that this global setting would also control apache,
postgres etc but that's prolly asking too much...
