SUMMARY: E250 & Solaris 8 Hangs On Shutdown/Reboot

Problem summary: A new, patched SunOS 5.8 Generic_108528-24 install
on a dual-processor E250 was hanging on shutdown.  I'd tracked the
problem down to a K41slpd script.

Casper Dik provided the answer and solution:

Jose Luis Martinez supplied the following suggestion, should I ever
wish to actually run slpd (second item):

>        mv /etc/rcS.d/K41slpd /etc/rcS.d/K41pslpd

Thank you, gentlemen!

P.S.: I re-searched SunSolve, just to see if I'd missed something I
shouldn't have and unnecessarily bothered the list, and still came up
bupkis.

In closing, I'd also like to thank:

    SANTA Giovanni <giovanni.santa@globalvalue.it>
    SreenivasaRao Vadalasetty <sreenivasarao_vadalasetty@adp.com>
    Magnusson Johan <Johan.Magnusson@fujitsu-siemens.com>
    "Badinter, George" <george.badinter@citigroup.com>

for their ever-so-helpful "out of the office" auto-replies.  I don't
know how I would have *ever* survived knowing they weren't going to
be there for me.
