/var out of disk space

On one of my Solaris 8 machines a 512MB /var is showing full. After
clearing up some of the log files from /var/adm the disk still shows
full even though a du -ks /var only shows 74MB usage. Where has the disk
space gone? I have come across this before and a reboot fixed the
problem but I would like to be able to fix it without having to reboot.
Any idea's?

Thanks

Dean.
