What I had in mind is that there are enough UNIX system configuration
files to not be annoyed by the slim logs.  For example, you can set a
logrotate (already mentionned with a good pointer on the arch forum :)),
another solution is to edit the said configuration file and comment the
logfile line (not sure if possible) otherwise set logfile to write to
/dev/null.
