Ah...thanks. That solves the Mystery of the Phantom Qmail Install.

Think only one of the debs is allowed to mess with /etc/passwd -- that
is, one of the base files. So, you'll have a bunch of users and groups
set up there even if you don't have the software that corresponds to a
particular group. Think it was decided that only 1 deb should ever mess
with system

Interestingly enough, this command reports 'not installed...no info
available'. Maybe in the distant past I played with qmail source? Who knows?

Bob,
First, a 10k (actual) lastlog isn't a great burden to go forward with.
Second, if you do decide to eliminate qmail (btw, it creates 7 users:
alias, qmaild, qmaill, qmailp, qmailq, qmailr and qmails) you might want
to run
dpkg --status qmail
to make sure it's not installed as your mail-tran

You would have won that bet too:

Bob,
Is it possible you have an application like qmail which Debian requires
to have exceptionally high numbered UID's? Like say upwards of 65000?
/etc/passwd will show you your UID range.
In any event, lastlog 'logs' over your entire range of UID's from the
lowest to the highest _including_ all_

Hmmmthe game's afoot Watson! What a strange animal.
So, there is a reason why lastlog is not rotated like all the rest?
Bob,
It only looks that big.
Do this:
du -k /var/log/lastlog
and tell us what it says.

PS, you can win bets on this one. I have.

I have a sysklogd file in /etc/cron.* directories. I assume this is from
the sysklogd package. My logs didn't start rotating until I installed this
package.

What do I do with this enormous creature? And how did it get that way? Why
isn't this thing rotated? How can I get it rotated?
