I'm going to try and respond to all the e-mails so far:
1) this particular mac does not have multiple users, although it does
have location manager set. I have seen this on users with multiple users
turned on. It has happened on laptops and on G4's and G3's. I have seen
it with users that just have multiple users. I have seen it with users
that just have location manager. At the moment, those are the only "weird"
things.
2) these systems are as normal as any of my other systems.
3) Okey Dokey is not running on any of them.
4) the problem with the theory that a user was clicking defer is that:
a) the defers have happened at night
b) the defers have happened during the day on this particular
machine because it is a laptop and the user takes it home (i
have other laptops that are setup the same without seeing
this).
c) it happens EVERY 4 MINUTES for HOURS - my users would have
called and complained after 10 minutes, let alone after hours.
Also it seems weird that it happens exactly every 4 minutes.
There is no variance.
Any other thoughts?
