Hello System Admins,
This answer is to install DECevent (also known as dia)
since it is supposed to be the replacement for uerf,
and uerf will someday disappear completely. The uerf
program isn't as robust as DECevent and the ERROR ENTRIES
I mentioned may or may not mean something significant.
I'll wait to see how DECevent interprets the data.
My original post is at the end of this message. Very
many thanks to the following who took the time to give
me the answers I needed:

Hello System Admins,
When I do the command: uerf -R -r 300 | more
I get the following for the first four entries:
uerf version 4.2-011 (122)
CORRUPTED ERROR ENTRY - ENTRY DUMP:
RECORD HEADER
0000: 019402A8 00020009 00060501 356324C6 *.............$c5*

0020: 00000001 00000000 000000C7 00100000 *................*
---------snip--------------snip--------------snip------------------
And then I get the normal entries, beginning with:

As you can see above, I'm running DU v4.0B patch level 4.
This is an AlphaServer 2100 4/200 and I run Enhanced Security.
Does anyone know what this "CORRUPTED ERROR ENTRY" means?
Should I be concerned? Thanks for your assistance.
