Dear debian-users,
In spite of the sysklogd scripts in /etc/cron.daily and
/etc/cron.weekly my system's log files keep growing and growing.
In fact they never have been rotated since potato's installation
in October 2000...
Here are the relevant entries in my /etc/cron.daily/sysklogd:

Hi debian-users,
For the time being I would like to compile some kind of HelloWorld
