I'm using 6.2-R on a Dell PE400SC. I recently enabled "Remote Wake Up" (Wake on LAN) in BIOS. Sending a magic packet to the powered down PC will power it up and it boots normally. However, now if I attempt a shutdown and power off using "halt -p" or "shutdown -p now" I get a reboot. Disabling Remote Wake Up reverts back to the expected behavior. I've searched and found the sysctl knob "hw.acpi.disable_on_poweroff" as a possible solution, but sysctl gives me "unknown oid". Any ideas?
