/var/log/setuid.today wierdness in cluster



hi

my normal /var/log/setuid.today is full of entries that refer to 
programs supposedly doing an suid:

   32045  2755   1 root       tty             9112 Sun Jan 27 00:05:55 
2002 /usr/bin/wall
   32055  2755   1 root       shadow         32104 Sun Apr  7 09:59:04 
2002 /usr/bin/chage
   32056  4755   1 root       root           25864 Sun Apr  7 09:59:04 
2002 /usr/bin/chfn
   32057  4755   1 root       root           23944 Sun Apr  7 09:59:04 
2002 /usr/bin/chsh
   32058  2755   1 root       shadow         16040 Sun Apr  7 09:59:04 
2002 /usr/bin/expiry
   32059  4755   1 root       root           33064 Sun Apr  7 09:59:04 

many of my cluster nodes have this instead:

  184   660   1 root       disk               0 Mon Oct  7 10:55:19 2002 
/dev/loop6
     185   660   1 root       disk               0 Mon Oct  7 10:55:20 
2002 /dev/loop7
     186   600   1 root       tty                0 Mon Oct  7 10:55:20 
2002 /dev/tty0
     187   600   1 root       tty                0 Mon Oct  7 10:55:20 
2002 /dev/console

2002 /dev/ppp
     200   660   1 root       disk               0 Thu Mar 14 14:51:02 
2002 /dev/hda1
     201   660   1 root       floppy             0 Thu Mar 14 14:56:54 
2002 /dev/fd0
     202   660   1 root       floppy             0 Thu Mar 14 14:56:54 
2002 /dev/fd0h1200
     203   660   1 root       floppy             0 Thu Mar 14 14:56:54 
2002 /dev/fd0d360


tens of thousands of entries running thru the /dev directory.  these 
nodes develop 20+mb files per day.

i can't find documentation on what program writes these files.  man 
setuid only documents the library call.

if someone could please point me in the right direction....

thanks in advance

dave
