I'm glad it isn't just me :-).
Thanks for the suggestions on dealing with this.
I suspect that the problem is someplace in openssh as swatch
reports looking at the fsl.log and openssh.log files have a
tendency to have entries at similar times.
BTW: I've done some work on the swatch package, cleaning it up t
use perl-openpkg, adding standard rc.d/rc.swatch run control, and
including a prototype configuration file. I plan to update the
CURRENT package after a few days testing here to work on the
configuration file.

unzip ; touch ; finger ; mount ; gasp ; yes ; umount ; sleep
