Embedded 1.2 - Multiple "login: login on console as root" msgs in log

[k2ham]

Not sure what is going on here… looking through the system log with my embedded 1.2 installation I see the message "login: lognin on console as root" every 15 minutes or so. For example:

May 8 01:00:02 login: login on console as root
May 8 00:45:02 login: login on console as root
May 8 00:30:03 login: login on console as root
May 8 00:15:02 login: login on console as root
May 8 00:00:03 login: login on console as root
May 7 23:45:02 login: login on console as root
May 7 23:35:01 check_reload_status: check_reload_status is starting
May 7 23:30:02 login: login on console as root
May 7 23:15:02 login: login on console as root
May 7 23:00:03 login: login on console as root
May 7 22:45:03 login: login on console as root
May 7 22:30:02 login: login on console as root
May 7 22:15:02 login: login on console as root
May 7 22:00:03 login: login on console as root

May 7 21:00:02 login: login on console as root
May 7 20:45:03 login: login on console as root
May 7 20:30:03 login: login on console as root
May 7 20:15:02 login: login on console as root
May 7 20:00:03 login: login on console as root

May 7 19:00:03 login: login on console as root
May 7 18:45:03 login: login on console as root
May 7 18:30:02 login: login on console as root
May 7 18:15:03 login: login on console as root
May 7 18:00:03 login: login on console as root
May 7 17:50:49 login: login on console as root
May 7 17:50:32 check_reload_status: reloading filter
May 7 17:50:19 init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/console, sleeping 30 secs
May 7 17:50:16 last message repeated 3 times
May 7 17:50:19 init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/console, sleeping 30 secs
May 7 17:50:12 check_reload_status: reloading filter
May 7 17:45:02 login: login on console as root
May 7 17:30:02 login: login on console as root
May 7 17:15:03 login: login on console as root
May 7 17:00:03 login: login on console as root

With that type of timing I'm guessing that some process is generating the message.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

P.S. Secure shell is not enabled. However, the message also appears when it is enabled.
