As Neil said, /var/log is usually the best place to start. Log files do
get written frequently - particularly if you've got the verbosity turned
up on something.

If your box is running out of disk space, I'd look at the logrotate job &
make sure that's running. If it isn't, the log files grow indefinitely...

Vic,
