I could have sworn I saw answers. Well, just in case, make sure you 
really need to do this because Raq automatically archives and cleans 
these files. It creates a file with the suffix .gz for the copies.

If you have some reason for doing a zero on these files, you should 
copy them and then you can zero them -- I use cat although there are 
many other ways to do it.

Do this in Telnet as root. For example:

cat > /home/log/httpd/error

They are only text files so there should be no problem. But PLEASE 
make sure you've copied the files first just in case there is.

cp /home/log/httpd/error /home/log/httpd/error.backup

or something like that.
