[gentoo-user] Logrotate status error

Hi All,

I have noticed that the log files on a box of mine are getting larger than 
expected.  I ran logrotate by hand to see if I get any errors and this came 
up:

# logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.conf 
error: line too long in state file /var/lib/logrotate.status
# ls -la /var/lib/logrotate.status 
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 360448 Dec  9  2007 /var/lib/logrotate.status

Can you explain it?  Should I just remove it before I run logrotate again?

Who knows, perhaps the file in questions had been corrupted.  I moved it and 
logrotate completed without errors.
