Large WSS_AdminService.log dropped by WSS 3.0 (or is it MOSS 2007?)

The server running our MOSS 2007 installation (and therefore the WSS 3.0 installation) has a log file called [tt]WSS_AdminService.log[/tt] held in [tt]C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Local Settings\Temp[/tt]. The contents don't seem particularly useful to me, but the file is being written to almost constantly and became very large (over 250 Mb by the time it was causing problems).

Worse still, because it's in the [tt]C:\Documents and Settings\Default User[/tt] folder it gets duplicated when a new user logs onto the server console.

I assume that it's coming from WSS as opposed to MOSS, both because the filename starts WSS and because each line quotes the process id of the WSSADMIN.EXE process.

I renamed the live copy of the file and a new one was created within a few seconds (no apparent errors). So I deleted the original, huge one. But the new one will just keep growing and duplicating into new profiles.

Is it normal to have this file in that area and for it to get so large?

Does anyone how I can stop it filling the system drive with such determination?

Thanks.
