  While there is no timestamp for each line, contents say that first
lines were created around June of 2009...

  Chunks of information in kdm.log start with:
  "X.Org X Server 1.6.1.901..."
  And then go for ~100lines. Then it repeats on next reboot/relogin.

  Later on I see enormous amount of lines (millions):
  "no rrb"
  After some time there are no more such huge amounts of "no rrb".
  So apparently there was some problem which was later fixed. But log
file was never "cleaned" up automatically (by logrotate).

  Sorry, but I do not understand this... What should I be looking for and where?
  I do not remember specifically changing syslog configuration, but I
could have forgotten something in two years...

  The problem I'm raising is the lack of logrotation (unless there is
some other procedure which should be cleaning up this kdm.log?).

  Thank you
