I just noticed this in my echocfg.exe program after an upgrade:

Synchronet FidoNet Config v3.20 c:\sbbs\ctrl\sbbse

I was trying to get logrotate set up - it looks like echocfg can do its own log
rotation now, is this correct?

Correct. It's doesn't compress/archive them, but yeah, it'll rotate them (and delete the old ones).
