I do have many other FreeBSD 9.2 systems where this doesn't happen, but those boxes are ssh access only with only 4 admin users logging in whereas my problem box also permits telnet access and has maybe 10 or so logging in on a regular basis. Up to now I had been thinking telnet was the culprit? -scott
