[rhn-users] Is anything supposed to clean up /var/log/audit.d?

[Geoff Sweet]

You could just let logrotate take care of them.  Logrotate accepts
wildcards in lofile names for cases where an application say generates a
wide range of named files.  However we have a couple systems that
generate odd-ball logfiles.  In that case I just wrote a Perl script to
cleanse the directories of files older the X days.  I then run that from
cron.  You are welcome to the script if you like.  Let me know.

We have a system with over 15GB in /var/log/audit.d.

The LAuS auditd/audbin processes cooperate to rotate individual
logfiles,
but there doesn't seem to be any system for removing old audit files.

I think our approach is going to be to squelch entries for the 
known process creating all the entries, but how do others deal with
this?
