I found most of this was coming from some programs called /usr/lib/uucp/uuclean and /usr/lib/uucp/uuadm which are run out of crontab. These programs are shell scripts and can be easily modified to change their behavior. Try examining roots crontab file, and see if the times of the messages match the times that the uuclean scripts are run. If they do, you found your culprit. If not, well good luck. :=) rkw
