Hi, In the course of one week, we have had three FreeBSD stable boxes just reboot on us and I'm trying to work out what's going wrong. The reboots were at different times of day with machines at different physical locations, so I don't believe power outages were involved (although we're looking into any causes along those lines). I guess there may be a degree of concidence involved, but I really would like to see if there's any common factor here. The messages log show nothing before the reboot: [...] Dec 16 03:59:00 cassium /kernel: ipfw: Entry 306 cleared. Dec 16 04:20:02 cassium /kernel: Copyright (c) 1992-2000 The FreeBSD Project.

I don't believe any of the machines were particularly heavily loaded at the time. At least one of them had no (legitimately) logged on users. Any clues to what happened or pointers to how I can look into this further myself are greatly appreciated...
