strange broadcast message from syslogd



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

This is really weird.  I've got potato running on a machine at work,
configured pretty much the same as all my other workstation in terms of
software.  Every few days or so I get the following message broadcast out
to all my login sessions:

Message from syslogd@locust at Tue Sep  5 17:42:31 2000 ...
locust

That's all it's doing.  Has anybody got any idea why that message would be
sent?  There's nothing in /etc/syslog.conf that would seem to be causing
this, and there aren't any crontab entries that might cause this.

Any light shed on this peculiar problem will be much appreciated.
noah
