NEVER use ctrl-alt-del from within FreeBSD. | | To reboot, login as root and type: | | shutdown -r now | | Rebooting with ctrl-alt-del can corrupt your filesystems and cause data | loss. Sorry for yelling, but this is a very important point. | Disputed: termcap equates this to a halt sequence, and I've NEVER had filesystem problems, though I tend to use more sane means for shutting down (like an explicit 'halt'). Novell Netware for example ignores Ctrl+Alt+Del. It all depends on what the OS thinks of the combination, though I agree: indiscriminate use is at your own risk. regards, larry
