I'm using Slim as my login manager and it's logging absolutely

log file huge, of the order of 8 gb when compressed. Can anyone think
of a solution? I could always use the hack of putting the logfile
in /tmp but I don't want to do that. /var is not on a separate
partition and I'm not prepared to re-partition my system. Obviously
with such large logfiles I'm getting performance issues.
I'm an XFCE user so I'd like to avoid kdm and gdm. Are are there any
other alternative X11 login apps other than xdm that don't depend on
GNOME or KDE if I can't fix my issue with Slim?
thanks,

I'm using xdm with a modified xdm-archlinux (blackified) theme since a
week or so. It is simple and it just works!
I've used Slim before and after that I didn't use anything, just
autologon, but that isn't really safe for a laptop. I'm not sure about the
log files, never took a look at it.
