The original poster did not say that the shutdown command is issued from 
the ssh session. That's an assumption made later by Harris.

Look: open a terminal in you computer, and do "ssh localhost". Then, shut 
down the sshd daemon. I just did, and the client ssh is still running and 
working! In fact, doing a "ps afx" shows that the sshd daemon did not die:

16412 ?        Ss     0:00 sshd: cer [priv]                                   
16414 ?        S      0:00  \_ sshd: [EMAIL PROTECTED]/31                       
            
16415 pts/31   Ss+    0:00      \_ -bash

And the log shows:

  Apr 19 23:18:07 nimrodel sshd[16409]: Server listening on :: port 22.
  Apr 19 23:18:19 nimrodel sshd[16412]: Accepted publickey for cer from 
127.0.0.1 port 23422 ssh2
  Apr 19 23:18:29 nimrodel sshd[16409]: Received signal 15; terminating.

but it hasn't terminated. During halt it will be forcibly killed later on 
the sequence. I killed it via "killall sshd" and then the client died. I'm 
not going to shutdown my computer to check, but as I recollect, I have 
seen client sessions not dying.
