wtmpx file is too big

Hi,

I am using Sun Solaris 5.9 OS. I have found a file called wtmpx having a size of 5.0 GB. I want to clear this file using :>/var/adm/wtmpx. My query is, would it cause any problem to the running live system.

Could anyone suggest the best method to clear the file without causing problem to the system.

Thanks & Regards,
P.C.Vijayakumar.
