freebsd security - Nov 2004 - 100.chksetuid in /etc/periodic/security resets the mashine

Hello, kolleages!
 I have a problem.
 When I (or system) start the script 100.chksetuid in
 /etc/periodic/security my machine resets.
 The machine:
 Timecounter "i8254"  frequency 1193182 Hz
 CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.06GHz (3056.82-MHz 686-class CPU)
 System version:
 FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE #0: Mon Nov  8 06:50:54 PST 2004
 
 I will glad to have help.
 Thank you in advance.

Please don't crosspost lists, particularly -security (which is totally
unrelated) and -questions and another list (which is generally redundant).
I've reset the cc: to -stable since thats the only one of the 3 I'm
subscribed to. Thanks!

This is probably a hardware problem.  chksetuid does a full scan of the
filesystem(s) and either the load from the scan or some secondary effect
(low voltage, overtemperature, bad memory) causes the reset.  Also,
spontaneous resets are tough to cause in software running in protected
mode without help from bad hardware :-) I'd check the usual suspects: turn
off any overclocking, check heat sinks, fans, and temperature sensors, and
if your machine's vendor offers a diagnostic tool, run it on repeat for a
day or two.

Also set up a serial console and run the script manually and see if you
are getting a panic or some other output.

This seems like a server-class machine, which may also have some onboard
monitoring which may have logged something.

Are you using null mounts? Or perhaps jails? I've had a combination of 
these features cause a kernel panic. Too many 'find' processing going at
once. Setting different jails to do their security checks at slightly 
different times fixed it for me.
