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
