Overflowing wtmp

OK, now for a silly question.

I am the adminsitrator of a SCO Xenix/286 system, and the system administrator
documentation is rather limited.


I have found that my wtmp file tends to grow without bound.
This is annoying.  Is there any clean way to trim it, short of the rather
crude 'cat /dev/null > /etc/wtmp' approach.  (I *do* know about cron,
I just need to know what to put in it).
