EFF's Logfinder

clonebarkins writes "EFF has just released a new software tool called "logfinder" to help server admins find (and delete) unnecessary log files on their boxen. "By finding unwanted log files, logfinder informs system administrators when their servers are collecting personal data and gives them the opportunity to turn logging off if it isn't gathering information necessary for administering the system.""

I think that partition which fills up due to logs getting out of hand is one of the primary causes for the system to start malfunctioning. It is funny, but it used to be better when file size was limited to 2 Gigs, so the log stopped growing when it hit that limit. This is not longer the case on more modern systems.
