Huge Dcc logdir

[Jeff A. Earickson]

I raised this issue a while back on the dcc mailing list (check the
archives).  If you don't want dcc logging, your choices are:

1) Remove the log directory, and then live with the stat() complaints
from dccifd at start time in the syslog directory.

2) Use the settings for the "-t" option.  See the manpage:

http://www.rhyolite.com/anti-spam/dcc/dccm.html#OPTION-t

The way to implement the "NEVER" feature for -t is to set:

DCCM_LOG_AT=NEVER

in your dcc_conf file, and then leave the log subdirectory alone.
You will find occasional crud in the log directory, but nothing
major will stack up.
