Sorry for the delay
Original Post:
Can someone please shed some light on my mystery.
On a client system I noticed the following messages
from a friday night and no one will claim responsiblity.
Note the time delay.
Oct 2 19:23:27 asti_4 reboot: rebooted by root
Oct 2 19:23:28 asti_4 syslogd: going down on signal 15
Oct 2 20:07:42 asti_4 vmunix: syncing file systems... done
Oct 2 20:07:42 asti_4 vmunix: rebooting...
Oct 2 20:07:42 asti_4 vmunix: SunOS Release 4.1.1-GFX-Rev2 (XISSIP) #1: Mon Jul 13 12:57:42 EDT 1992
Oct 2 20:07:42 asti_4 vmunix: Copyright (c) 1983-1990, Sun Microsystems, Inc.
Oct 2 20:07:42 asti_4 vmunix: mem = 49152K (0x3000000)
Does this reboot message get printed this at time other than when
super user keys in reboot. (like with an shutdown -r) ?
What might explain the 44 minute delay?
Answer:
Everyone agreed that someone must have manually initiated the reboot and that
I should probably improve security. As for the time difference...
The reboot messages are logged after the syslogd has been started.
This is after fsck of all local disks and most other things done
before going multi user.
