    Hi on one of my A500 server, the /var file system has gone upto 82%. I could
    see /var/adm/wtmp has grown to a large extent. Can i trim this file using
    cat /dev/null > wtmp? I could see some docs on HP site that "who" command
    will not work if this is done. Can somebody explain what to do?

    Thanks and Best Regards
