That reminds me of the "stopped firewall" project (freshmeat I think). Anyway, it sounds like you are missing some Knn simlinks in the shutdown sequence. Possibly what is happening is you are still running the network process(es). Just check that there is a Knn for each Snn (and that it does do something).
As init will still be running if there is a process running, you will still have interrupts and a scheduler running. If it's X86 architecture you might also have a look at the power management (BIOS) settings and check that it can be shut down that way. Cheers, Jill. -- Jill Rowling, Snr Des.

(slackware 8.0 + 2.4.17) shutdown -h now as root from an ssh session resulted in the usual messages both to the session and console however we observed the following:- 1. The machine remained visible on the network and responded to pings so some of our monitoring systems such as WhatsUp would presumably still show it as healthy. 2. Console switching was possible but key input was ignored. 3. Messages from debug/messages were output to the console. 4. The machine continued to accept calls from ISDN but was unable to process them. Given the RAS hardware in this machine this indicated that the Kernel module was still processing interrupts correctly. I guess halted isn't *really* halted in the CPU halted sense ?????????? We will set up APM so it will in future do a power down and this wont be an issue but it was certainly unexpected (and unpleasant) behaviour for a Linux based RAS/router.
