At that time nemesis.zefox.com was running powerd, enabled
in /etc/rc.conf. Now that line is commented out on all hosts.
It might be relevant that on www.zefox.org, the terminal
server to nemesis, powerd was run manually using 
powerd -a adp, not via an entry in /etc/rc.conf . The two
appear similar, but perhaps not identical for the Pi .

For now all hosts run with powerd off in an attempt to 
re-establish baseline behavior. 

Could Apache or something like it be configured to allow 
live, remote examination of the hosts in the tests? Making
config or static log files accessible seems fairly easy,
dynamic status looks more difficult. At this point my
own reporting errors/omissions are a significant hazard 
to any investigation. 

Thanks for all your help!
