also if you need to actually keep any of the logs or info currently 
existing in /var then you should back it up either to tape or by copying 
it to another location and then put it back into the new location for /var
we had a similar situation with our redhat based mail and proxy server 
on our network. We  needed to keep the SQUID logs,etc.  for monitoring 
purposes so simply deleting /var wasn't an option for us.
this is my first post to the list, Hi guys!!! *Waves!!!*

I must not fear. 
Fear is the mind-killer.
I will face my fear, 
and I will let it pass through me.
When the fear is gone, 
there will be nothing.

No Fear!
