Any idea what can cause this to grow to a huge size very fast? My tech support rest it today, and within an hour it was back to being 1 gig on my /var drive.

Any help or suggestions?

to find out where your gigabytes are sitting and filling your hard drive, try the following commands.

/var$ du -h --max-depth=1

or

du -h --max-depth=1 |sort -n
