What command are you using to shut down?

The behaviour you describe is typical of bringing the system down to
single user mode, and the prompt message you describe is issued by
sulogin.


So, where to remove it?

If you just enter a command like "shutdown now" it will bring the system
down to single user mode give a behaviour like you describe.  Since you
say rebooting is fine, you probably know to use the "-r" switch to the
shutdown command.  Well, to really shutdown the system, you need to use
the "-h" (halt) switch.  You can also use the halt command which will
do a shutdown -h in the same way that reboot command will do shutdown
-r.


I was just using shutdown now command to shut it down, i will try the -h
option.
