[mrtg] MRTG resets all graphs daily, why?

[Adam Williams]

I'm using native mode.  There is the default Fedora cron script that 
cleans up /var/log, but I don't have any program that goes and deletes 
.log files in /home/adam/public_html/mrtg.  Here is a listing of the 
directory:

[root at missioncontrol mrtg]# ls -l
