You can also include/exclude specific fields from being logged as well by
modifying /etc/naccttab.  For instance, on my system, I only log date,
source_ip, dest_ip, and bytes going across my PPP link to my ISP.  This
keeps things down to a pretty reasonable level - the file is about 500K per
day - which gets "emptied" each night by my custom report script.
