I've been running FreeBSD since April 1995, first 2.0R and then around
Dec switched to 2.1R.  Everything has been running fine till recently.
The last couple weeks or so the system reboots occasionaly, always when
I not there to see what happens (naturally).  No hardware changes have
been made since the ungrade to 2.1R and the system is on a UPS/Line 
conditioner, so I'm fairly sure the power isn't the problem.

Is there a log or something that I can look at that would catch panics
or anything that I can watch to give me a clue about the reboots?

Thanks
