++.SH NOTE
++The \fIlastlog\fR file is a database which contains info on the last login of
++each user.  You should not rotate it.  It is a sparse file, so its size on the
++disk is much smaller than the one shown by \fBls \-l\fR (which can indicate a
++really big file if you have an high UID).  You can display its real size with
++\fBls \-s\fR.
