Hi,

Noting the discussion taking place recently, I happened to be in my room =
this lunchtime and heard the familiar 'beep-beep' my gateway box issues =
when it POSTs - it had rebooted by itself!

I promptly SSH'd into the box and used last to see what had happened, =
and instead of 'crash' I saw 'reboot' - is this something I should worry =
about? I tried to use who (to see if anyone was logged in - nobody but =
me) and also checked /var/log/messages to see for logins and other =
strangeness, but found nothing.=20

The box is a rather ropey old 233MMX PC box, so I wouldn't be surprised =
if it's on its last legs. But, if anyone thinks I should be worried =
about security then I'd appreciate some help.

Best Wishes,

Andrew
