Everybody else's power went out.
Yours did not. That, or the "glitch" was so quick
your box was not affected.

Or .... someone around you knows a pass word.

Or ... someone slipped you a very clever boot script
_and_ knows a pass word.

FBSD will not boot up and log on a user by itself.

BTW: Anyone know how to delete the outgoing mail queue?
