Steve If you open up webmin and look at your scheduled cron jobs you will see a daily job called logrotate. The function of this job is to archive old log files and delete old archives. You can decide which logs are managed by logrotate, the size of the files before they get archived, and how long the archives are kept.
Type man logrotate for details and look at /etc/logrotate.conf and /etc/logrotate.d BTW in my standard 8.1 install logrotate did not run properly because one log appeared twice in the config file. That caused logrotate to abort without doing any archiving. Check your syslog to see if this is happening to you.
