Last night, one of our FreeBSD 2.1.5 machines rebooted.  There is no entry of it in the messages file, but the lastlog says this

xxx       ttyp0    xxxx            Thu Nov 14 02:11 - 02:13  (00:01)
reboot    ~                         Thu Nov 14 02:01
xxxx     ttyp7    xxxxxxxxx Thu Nov 14 00:36 - 00:44  (00:07)

(Usernames and hostnames of the entry above/under are scratched out...)

As you can see, no one was logged on at the time.  The messages file has noe entries of the activity other than the kernel 
startupmessages.

Can a FreeBSD box do this of itself if it gets into trouble?  Memory fault, disk fault or something like that?  Or do we have reason 
to believe this is hacker activity?

In any case, what should we do??
