Did I do something wrong?!   I used to get errors in my /usr/adm/unix.log.
I cleared it out in the beginning of the month with:

"cp /dev/null /usr/adm/unix.log" and I haven't seen an error since.  Is
this good sign or not?!   I used to get Spurious interrupts from my
printer, and FDERR's sometimes when formatting diskettes.  I can't even
induce errors when I want to.  (ie. opening the floppy do when formatting?!)

I'm concerned that something is screwed up.  Maybe it's because I'm
running UNIX3.51c, maybe not.  Is there a way to start things fresh,
maybe remove the file?  Will it be created when the first error occurs?

# ls -l /usr/adm/unix.log
-rw-r--r--  1 root    root          0 Dec  5 19:38 /usr/adm/unix.log

						-Errorless and concerned.
