 i'd say powerdown is supported because the powerdown only fails
 *sometimes*...
 
 I thought i can reproduce this behaviour with the following scenario:
 PC1 with NBSD 3.0 running Samba - PC2 with W2k/WinXP.
 Mount a share on PC2, open a textfile/script/..., shutdown PC1 with
 *halt -p*.
 Without any connections to another PC PC1 normally does powerdown,
 with the scenario above PC1 sometimes does, sometimes not.
 
 HTH
