log in as admin and do a 'df -h'  most likely your /var/ partition is full.

What you will need to do is well documented in the archives.

Simply remove the hard drive, mount it in another linux box.  remove or move
the large log files.

In the future have the log files in /home/log and link them back to
/var/log.

I have seen several messages like that posted here and have followed the
threats closely. When I came in this morning I assumed that was the first
thing to check. This is the output from df and although / is close (clean up
is on the todo list) to being full, I don't think this may be a problem.
/dev/hda1             726M  633M   93M  87% /
/dev/hda3             194M   16M  178M   8% /var
/dev/hda4              26G  407M   25G   2% /home

How can I check if my admin is actually part of the wheel group? I am
thinking on that direction but I cannot seem to find any documentation.

Thank you for your input Rik!
