Are any of them 4.0?

I suspect that it my be related to  /var/backups/etc/ifconfig* files, with are 
RCS files created by security.
On a machine with the problem I have deleted the files and they have been 
recreated by /etc/security.  So, I am going to watch and see what happens next.
I don't think it is /etc/security causing the problem but something related.

Yes, the config did change.  It is being "restored" to the original config.

This is new system there are no cronjobs.  Default rc.conf.
