I may be wrong, but looking at the source and the timestamps of those "reboot" entries in wtmp, they seem to be inserted as the box is coming back up, after the reboot. "shutdown" will mark a clean shutdown, I beleive, "reboot", as it says, indicates the machine is booting up again. -- Ben Smithurst ben@scientia.demon.co.uk send a blank message to ben+pgp@scientia.demon.co.uk for PGP key To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
