limiting the size of syslog log files
I would like to limit the size of syslog log files. Is there a setting I can enter in syslog.conf that does this for me. Ideally I would like something along the lines of a circular buffer of N bytes.

P.S. I'm a new user, and this site is awesome. I wish I found it earlier.

Thanks,
David
