SuSE Automatically Shuts down

I have a laptop with SuSE 9 Professional installed. When logged in as root or when su from another user, the system automatically performs shutdown after five minutes of being logged in. It was happening with one user, and I took that user out of the wheel and sys groups. Root is in neither group, but, root can do anything, of course.

When I restart the laptop, fsck says that the file system was not cleanly unmounted. Duh. It seems to fix itself. ACPI and BIOS power settings are off, and I don't use any of the power settings in KDE or X to control the system.

I've tried to look at any cron or at jobs, but can't see anything along that line. I did search through SuSE's knowledgebase, but didn't find anything relevant.

If I log in as a normal user, this doesn't occur.

Any ideas?
