Where are you sending the system sweeps and logs that show changes in files?

If a change in (foo) is always zero you're logging something that hasn't
changed and the result is pointed at your printer instead of a file.

Either that or someone/something is sending you formfeeds.
I've had numerous hits on my firewall aimed at the internet print port.
Do you really need plip?
