Red face Problem with /var File system


We have a Nw of more than 45 AIX machines.
We have regular problems with /var File system in one or the other nodes.It becomes full regularly.
The reasons noticed are
1. The directories /var/spool/mqueue and /var/preserve
sometimes occuppy hundreds of junkfiles.
We delete them.
Is it possible to disable the generation of junks.
2. The file /var/adm/ras/errlog becomes large
We use errclear command to clear it.
But, even if we use errclear 0, the size of /var/ad/ras/errlog does not change
We can not delete it, as it is user to execute errpt command
What can I do?
3. The file /var/adm/wtmp grows large.
How to control it. Can we remove it?
