we have been using our RH9 / Plesk 6.0.2 server with no problems for nearly three years. I am ashamed to say we never cleaned logs or deleted them, mainly because we have no way to backup them. Some log files, like “lastlog” in /var/log has grown to well above 2 GBs.

So, if you could not backup your old logs, which ones would you delete from your server?
