Unfortunately, when your boss comes in and says "Why did this just* 
happen?," those logs are kind of handy.

I like a lot of logging on production systems. I funnel everything from 
every server to a single loghost via syslog. First thing every morning, a 
cron job "bzip2s" the previous days syslog file and saves it as 
"syslog.bz2-$(date +%d)" so I always have 30 days logs on tap and don't 
have to worry about deleting old log files.

*) Sometime in the last 30 days.
