Freeing space on menubar

[Olav Vitters]

Could someone clean it up a bit? The postfix logs are 10GB/week since 2
weeks or so (it WILL run out of space really soon). Plus a p0f logfile.

Maybe compress the logfiles, maybe keep less logfiles. At least the
postfix should be daily, not weekly. Grepping through GB+ logfiles is
excessive.

$ du -sh /var/log
31G     /var/log

$ df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/md2               66G   57G  5.9G  91% /

$ ls -lh | egrep maillog\|p0f

Just found we were out of space on bugzilla-web.gnome.org causing
problems with uploading attachments, sending mail, etc.

It doesn't have a very big / - just 5G including the system image, and
we had ~2.7G of log files.

I added logrotate to our puppet moduleset and configured it to compress
log files by default - when the old log files were compressed that took
the space usage down to about 500M.

This is global across all log files on all our puppet-managed systems -
it seems like the right default.

Menubar isn't puppet managed yet, so it won't help with problem that
Olav is pointing out, someone still needs to deal with that.
