Mac OS X 10.5: Computer starts up unexpectedly at the same time each day

In Mac OS X 10.5 through 10.5.4, your Mac may start up unexpectedly each day (at midnight UTC/GMT) even if it is not scheduled to start up in Energy Saver preferences in System Preferences. The local time when the computer may start up will vary depending on which time zone you are located in and whether or not daylight savings time is being observed. For example: Midnight UTC/GMT may be 5 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) or 7 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST). This could happen after upgrading from Mac OS X 10.4 to Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.

how can I run something as root (modprobe, to be exact) every time computer starts.

I have the root password for my box, but I'm ignorant. So, every time I start my computer, I have to run this command /sbin/modprobe fuse as su, so that I can do other stuff (like mount remote directories locally using sshfs) I guess there's some file, like .bashrc, only it's applicable...

NAME
scselect -- Select system configuration "location" SYNOPSIS
scselect [-n] [new-location-name] DESCRIPTION
scselect provides access to the system configuration sets, commonly referred to as "locations". When invoked with no arguments, scselect displays the names and associated identifiers for each defined "location" and indicates which is currently active. scselect also allows the user to select or change the active "location" by specifying its name or identifier. Changing the "location" causes an immediate system re- configuration, unless the -n option is supplied. At present, the majority of preferences associated with a "location" relate to the system's network configuration. The command line options are as follows: -n Delay changing the system's "location" until the next system boot (or the next time that the system configuration preferences are changed). new-location-name If not specified, a list of the available "location" names and associated identifiers will be reported on standard output. If specified, this argument is matched with the "location" names and identifiers and the matching set is activated. SEE ALSO
