Hi all

I have a debian server thats been running for a very very long time now. I
recently looked and its 2 gig drive is half full. There is no logon users,
just the server/firewall software. There is no pictures and i read/purge the
log files regulary. How can i find where the storage is gone to (ie
packages,files etc)? And then see what is relevent? The install was
origionaly about 500-600 megs, and 400-500 i cant acount for and its like
25% of the servers drive. I would love to learn more on how to see where its
all going. BTW could it be some hacker useing it? I doupt it (but see the
inet useage light flashen a lot), i secured it pretty tight as per the
secure how-to, with only ssh,http,and a webcam port open, and the rest
closed maybe any ideas on howto scan for this would be great to, since it
has been online for a couple years now.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Arron
