Ever since I upgraded to potato my syslog and kern.log has grown to huge
sizes:
-rw-r----- 1 root adm 154798 Feb 11 14:46 /var/log/syslog
-rw-r----- 1 root adm 395234 Feb 11 07:40 /var/log/syslog.0

-rw-r----- 1 root adm 3179 Jan 23 13:28 /var/log/kern.log.2.gz
-rw-r----- 1 root adm 1590 Jan 14 12:01 /var/log/kern.log.3.gz
I deleted kern.log when it reached the tiny size of 16 MB
Here are the things that make my logs that big:

For kern.log goes the same....
What the hell is going on???
How do I fix this (or at least make it so that these messages do not
appear in syslog and kern.log anymore)?
By the way, eth0 is my network card to the internet and eth1 the one for
my LAN....
