Subject:   Trouble with FreeBSD 4.0, randomly reboots(?)

Hi all,

I've been having some strange problems with a FreeBSD 4.0 machine
randomly rebooting its self with no explanation. The machine was
cleanly shutdown, ie.  syslogd exits with signal 15, file systems
are also clean on reboot, but I don't know what caused it to reboot.
Maybe a kernel panic? But then shouldn't wtmp report a crash? I
also don't see any hardware errors in the messages logs. *sigh*

Anyhow, any hints would be very much appreciated...

Thanks,

Cove

The wtmp file reports (no one was logged into the machine when it
was rebooted):

reboot           ~                         Wed Dec  6 22:12 
shutdown         ~                         Wed Dec  6 22:10 

And a lastcomm |grep 22:10 reports:

Something that seems a bit strange to me (I really don't know enough
about the acct loging system though) is that the logs are out of
order:
