+### Using Logrotate to control log file size
+
+Logrotate is pre-installed on standard Debian/Ubuntu distributions and is a great
+way to automatically rotate your log files and control how many old logs you
+keep on your system so they don't accumulate and eat up your disk space.
+
+I've included a sample configuration file you can copy to your
+*/etc/logrotate.d/* folder.  This file is set up to rotate your logs once a
+week, keep 3 weeks worth of history (compressed) and delete all logs older than
+that.  The configuration file is located in this git archive at
+*/etc/logrotate.d/cfddns* and is fully commented to help you customize it to
+suit your needs.
