Original message at end. The consensus is that the binary.errlog file
should be purged on a regular basis. Either backup to tape or cp to
differnt area on disk (may want to zip) then cat /dev/null > binary.errlog
or cp /dev/null /var/adm/binary.errlog. Check permissions.
Other suggested files to purge: lastlog, messages, mountdtab, wtmp,
sialog, syslog.dated. Caution: do not purge utmp!
Thanks to everyone for their responses!!
