well the pacct is actually a process account logging thing, so its been logging everytime someone logs on & off for the past, erm 50 years or so! so that has been /dev/null 'd, was dated 1993 ehheh
as for the kernelcore that was dated 23rd feb 2000 which was also the day when we had to call out engineers to fix the thing, so we are pretty sure thats a backup of the ram when it went down.
Cheers PxT for that date thingy, learn something new everyday
and the V/88 system is decades old, thats why ive moved the server from v/88 to BSD

diaglogd
diaglogd(1M) diaglogd(1M)
NAME
diaglogd - Support Tools Manager logging daemon
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/stm/uut/bin/sys/diaglogd
DESCRIPTION
The Support Tools Manager (STM) uses a logging daemon ( diaglogd ) to read diagnostic events from the kernel via diag2 (diagnostic pseudo
driver) and logs them in the system log files.
diaglogd is launched automatically at boot by the STM daemon diagmond. The STM User Interface, xstm , mstm , or cstm , Daemon commands can
also be used to launch the daemon as well as shut it down and view the daemon's activity log.
The log files created by diaglogd can be viewed using the STM utility logtool.
Application Usage
This daemon will be deprecated on new server models. Please use System Management Homepage (see hpsmh(1M)).
WARNINGS
The following message will appear on the system console when the diagnostic logging facility determines that the I/O subsystem has started
logging excessive I/O errors. This message will appear only once and I/O errors will be lost until the diagnostic subsystem can recover
from this condition.
DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM WARNING:
The diagnostic logging facility has started receiving excessive
errors from the I/O subsystem. I/O error entries will be lost
until the cause of the excessive I/O logging is corrected.
If the diaglogd daemon is not active, use the Daemon Startup
command in stm to start it. If the diaglogd daemon is active, use
the logtool utility in stm to determine which I/O subsystem is
logging excessive errors.
The following message will appear on the system console when the cause of the excessive I/O error logging is corrected. The total number
of I/O errors that were dropped will be placed in "XX".
DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM WARNING:
The diagnostic logging facility is no longer receiving excessive
errors from the I/O subsystem. XX I/O error entries were lost.
