I just turned on verbose logging for our FTP daemon (vsftpd). We are
saving the log to the default location:

/var/log/vsftpd.log

(When I say "verbose mode" I mean log_ftp_protocol is set to yes and
xferlog_std_format is set to NO)


How do I control the size of this log? Does it just get bigger and
bigger and bigger, or does vsftpd take care of managing its size, somehow?

Have a look at logrotate.
