log.000xx files?

[Tim Tyler <tyler@beloit.edu>]

  Openldap experts,
  We are running openldap 2.3.30 on Fedora core 6.  Everything seems 
to be working fine since we started it up in February.  However, I 
have noticed that in /var/lib/ldap there are a lot of log.00000x 
files incrementing from 1 through 58 so far and they are all the same 
size of 5242880 bits.  Can someone explain to me what the role of 
these log files is and if there is anything I should do to keep the 
directory clean over time?  Should I just ignore them or is there 
maintenance or something that is recommended for cleaning up these 
log files over time?  Is openldap dependent upon all of them for any reason?

-rw-------  1 ldap ldap  5242880 Jul 19 11:45 log.0000000058.


  Also, are there any other ldap maintenance tasks that one might 
recommend doing periodically to keep the ldap databases running 
efficiently and reliably?  Note we are using Berkley database in case 
that matters (*.bdb).
