*** FINAL System shutdown message from root@myname.my.domain ***

System going down immediately

Apr 30 11:15:14 myname shutdown: shutdown by root:

System shutdown time has arrived
Shutting down daemon processes:.
Apr 30 11:15:16 myname syslogd: exiting on signal 15
Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh: 


If I use "shutdown +1" and immediately logout, I have the same problem. 
The machine is sitting at the login prompt when the shutdown time hits. 
The machine tries to shutdown, but then logs into the root account 
without a password!
