>Description:

The freebsd-tips file gives this tip:

Need to quickly empty a file? Use "echo > filename".
                -- Dru <genesis at istar.ca>

That is not correct, it will give you a 1 byte file (with a newline).

So this should either be:

echo -n >filename

or 

: > filename

>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:

Change the tip to one of the two versions above
