James,

I just tried and the "Clean out logging directories" and it does
seem to work.

login as root
'menu'
'Os Administration'
'Clean out logging directories'
'yes'

Granted the process could probably be a little more intelligent by
stoping / starting services that are loging etc. but it kinda gets
the job done.  This is one of the areas we can stand to improve on
in the next generation roo.  Point taken :)

There is a default user "roo" in MySQL with default password
"honey".  This will be locked for 10 minutes if you feed it the
wrong password more than twice.

I hate saying this but if you are really stuck with user/password
problems and you want a clean honeywall anyway (no concern over
lost logs) a re-install takes less than 5 minutes and configuration
is pretty straight forward.

If you want to try to save your config to make re-istall painless
do this on your roo:

login as root
Insert floppy
'menu'
'Honeywall Administration'
'Manager Configuration Subsystem'
'Create /etc/honeywall.conf from /hw/conf files'
'Write /etc/honeywall.conf files to floppy disk'

Leave the floppy in and re-install.  The honeywall.conf created
above and transfered to floppy based on current settings will be
"sucked in" during install.

Earl
