/var/log/news is getting full - ???

[bdog]

My news directory is getting full. So full that an ls in this dir bogs down my machine. I don't think I have the news server on, but how can I make sure?

I can't even delete this crap. A rm * returns an argument list too long error. I need to get rid of this because it has filled up my var partition.

I would try just a rm a* then rm b* etc since it is saying the list is too long for the rm *

It seems as the news daemon is running and generates many errors that's why your logs are getting big.See if innd is running which is owned by news.Hope this helps.
