- My machine mysteriously locked up sometime between around lunch on
- December 31 and about 9 am January 1. I was unable to get to it
- physically to see what state it was in, however I assumed that there
- had been a power outage and the machine had simply not rebooted
- (another big pain in the b***, but that's unrelated to my current
- question. I was lucky to find someone around who could reboot the
- machine for me, but I did not talk to him afterwards and did not
- find out any information about the state in which he found it,
- though it did appear from wtmp that there had not been a power
- outage as I had thought. I did not really think any more about it
- until today, when I noticed the following lines in my auth log file:

- Does anyone know the probable cause of these messages? I'm running 3.0,
- if that makes a difference. Under 2.1 I don't think I ever had this
- problem.
