Disappearing files

Suse 10.3
ispconfig
Using as a web server, mail server.
I'm the only user.
These files:

/var/log/httpd/ispconfig_access_log_2008_08_28
/var/log/httpd/ispconfig_access_log_2008_08_29

vanished without a trace.
I still have older and newer files, but not these.
I have not deleted anything since looking at these files a couple of days ago.
There was some suspicious activity in these logs, someone was trying to use me as a proxy, I didn't install squid, but I see a squid user in the user accounts. Someone else was trying an sql injection attack, and there was also an F bot attack.
After seeing all this, I installed and ran chkrootkit, fail2ban and snort.
Is it possible one of these programs deleted the files?

ncsa_auth(8)						      System Manager's Manual						      ncsa_auth(8)

NAME
ncsa_auth - NCSA httpd-style password file authentication helper for Squid SYNOPSIS
ncsa_auth passwdfile DESCRIPTION
ncsa_auth allows Squid to read and authenticate user and password information from an NCSA/Apache httpd-style password file when using basic HTTP authentication. The only parameter is the password file. It must have permissions to be read by the user that Squid is running as (cache_effective_user in squid.conf). This password file can be manipulated using htpasswd. * MD5 - with optional salt and magic strings * DES - for passwords 8 characters or less in length OPTIONS
Only specify the password file name. EXAMPLE
ncsa_auth /etc/squid/squid.pass SECURITY
ncsa_auth must have access to the password file to be executed. KNOWN ISSUES
DES functionality (used by htpasswd by default) silently truncates passwords to 8 characters. Allowing login with password values shorter than the one desired. This authenticator will reject login with long passwords when using DES. SEE ALSO
