what down the "correct" shutdown method do?:

/usr/sbin/shutdown -i6 -y

If this doesn't work then you've got horked up shutdown scripts, you're not
logged in as root, or you've got a process that's blocking the shutdown.

Chose any or all of the above.

Well I'm in as root, shutdown (which I did not know) works.
I have 2 'twin-servers' where init 6 (which I'm used to) works on the one
while it doesn't on the other. I would like to find the reason, just to my
understandings.
I always thaught init 6 was the remote way to restart, and always 'build-in'

shutdown -i6 is just a more luserfriendly way...
It is roughly equivalent of doing a rwall, wait for one minute and then
doing init 6.

On Solaris 8 I have observed that the kill script for slpd is running
too late, it must run before K41autofs or else it will hang.
Change it from K41slpd to K40slpd and it should be OK. According to my
notes bugreports 4386813, 4373105 and 4333801 adress this issue.
