You can use something to rotate the logs out... You'll want to look around 
your distro for logrotate or something similar to see if it is there and 
can be automatically setup for you.  Otherwise, you can install it 
yourself.  I have yet to do that, though, as most distros that I have used 
have pretty reasonable settings.
