That means that your machine has been rebooted. It's not trying to tell you
that there is a user called "reboot". It will also list "shutdown" there if
the system has been shutdown.
e.g. here is an excerpt from my wtmp, from when I did a shutdown -r now. I
believe that the "reboot" command actually has to be used for this to show
up, but I could be wrong.
