hello,

Yes i have an idea.Your server runs Fedora core (4) that version is not 
supported anymore.You will no longer receive security updates to packages for 
Fedora core 4.For a production you should highly consider changing your os to a 
"enterprise level" supported os.Occording to me that's the key of your 
problem.Probably you are running a kernel with security holes...

regards,

Erik

  I love the way it "planned" to panic in 5 seconds!

  The only other log record at 04:03 is /var/log/rkhunter.log:-

  [04:03:34] -------------------------- Open files tests 
---------------------------
  [04:03:34] Scanning running processes...
  (END)

  Which usually goes on:-

  [04:03:03] -------------------------- Open files tests 
---------------------------
  [04:03:03] Scanning running processes... OK
  [04:03:04] Scanned for
