Ok, I've readed the entire thread and I don't find any reason about why
ctrl+alt+delete shouldn't be an option (i.e. with sysctl o a kernel
configuration option) to shutdown the computer.

At last, I have decided to install NetBSD in my gateway. That computer
does not have a screen, but it has a keyboard. The gateway has to be
closed at night so, it has to be shutted down properly... The
problem is that, if all other network computers are closed, there is no
easy way to shutdown the system (i.e. no telnet or nothing). That is
why I want those keys to allow the system to shutdown.

Any other idea?

Thanks.
