newbie admin:  running FreeBSD 4.7 Stable

I am having a bit of trouble finding this.  Is there a FAQ or tutorial that
discusses the standard convention of rotating log files?  I am seeing my
/var/log/messages and /var/log/maillog files cycling nicely, but I would like
to know how to add other log files to this process.

Thanks in advance.

I worry about my child and the Internet all the time, even though she's
too young to have logged on yet. Here's what I worry about. I worry
that 10 or 15 years from now, she will come to me and say Daddy, where
were you when they took freedom of the press away from the Internet?
