folks-
i've got a raq2 that has its /var directory at 100% capacity (i did a df -h).
and i can't su to root. just to be sure it wasn't a password-forgetfulness
problem, i pressed the password reset switch on the back of the machine.
still... i can't login as root, only as admin and the various users..
based on the cobalt site, they tell me to do a restore if i get into this
situation. now, there MUST be some way to flush out, for example, the huge
log files that are sitting in the /var directory so that i can get back in
as root and do what i need to do.
any thoughts?
