I just finished install FreeBSD.  My computer doesnt have a modem.
However, the system keeps on trying to dial out!  The result is a HUGE
mgetty.cuaa1 file and my /var partition runs out off space after the
system is turned of for a few minutes.  How do I fix this problem?
Furthermore, is there a way to set a limit the size of the log files?  
Thanks.
