Aaah, Now it makes sense. I would suggest gettin on the proftpd mailing list. They've been cranking out a new release about once a week. If you submitted a bug a week or more ago, it's probably already implemented. The debian package maintainer for proftpd is usually pretty good about getting

If you have an ATX case and motherboard, shutdown -h -p now or the shorter poweroff also turns power down. You should have compiled your kernel with APM poweroff option for this to work. Note: If you are on a SMP machine, APM will break things badly. So don't use it then.

hwclock and fear of rebooting

I'm nervous about rebooting my machine because I have used the hwclock program to set the RTC to an atomic clock, and am waiting a couple of weeks to set it again and calculate the drift. (Eventually, I'll set up the hwclock to make adjustments to the system clock using adjtimex.) Anyway, if I

You probably need to install and/or configure isapnptools to handle the plug 'n pray portion. Most likely you'll need to setup some module parameters as well. I can email you the configuration settings I'm using for both of the above, if you'd like. You'll probably have to adapt them somewhat,
