Hi folks,

I got a rather alarming level-12 message about my system, but I'm not 
completely sure what it's telling me:

OSSEC HIDS Notification.
2007 Mar 20 06:25:16

Received From: tribble->/var/log/auth.log
Rule: 40101 fired (level 12) -> "System user sucessfully logged to the 
system."
Portion of the log(s):

Mar 20 06:25:16 tribble su[3663]: + ??? root:nobody

The system is an Ubuntu Linux system, and root login is disabled... so 
what could this potentially mean? I was certainly not awake an logged into 
this machine at 6:25am, and nobody else should have these priveleges...
