When I log out and select "Turn off the computer" it shuts down the system and leaves the machinery running, displaying this message: "The operating system has halted. Please press any key to reboot." Pressing the power button fires up the system. I have to hold the power button down for several seconds to get a forced power-off or pull the plug. How do I setup BSD so that the command at the login panel turns the machine off? Malcolm
