Apache logs

[ericmurphy]

Is there any downside to just deleting apache's default logs (access_log and error_log)? Mine are both pretty big (a few meg each), being mostly larded with messages about hits from nimda and CodeRed exploit attempts.

If I delete them, do I need to stop and restart apache (hopefully just via the sharing prefernce panel), or will apache just recreate the logs itself?

What about deleting captain's_log? Can I junk that, or would I cause a warp in the time-space continuim?
