log rotating should come from /etc/cron.daily/logrotate but it looks like
yours is doing that although I am not sure. Is your system on 24/7 or do
you shut it off? If you shut it off during the night, do you notice if any
cron jobs are running once it's back online so anaconda makes it finish the
jobs?
Here is a URL to go to and install logcheck which keeps track of most of
your logs and will send you an email. If you edit the makefile and have it
install the logcheck.sh file into /etc/cron.daily instead of where it
defaults to, it will auto check once a day and email you the results.

Then you can keep track of things and see what is going on.
Hope this helps.
