[Sunhelp] Zero'ing wtmp files

Is there a right way to prune /var/adm/wtmp and /var/adm/wtmpx
files when they start getting big?  I'm concerned that if I
just move the files out of the way and let new ones be created,
the contents of the new file will be incomplete (because of
the people still logged in at the time of the move).

Thanks in advance.
