Thus spake Jason Thorpe ("JT> ") sometime Today...

JT> The front-panel power button powers off the machine, period.  It's

Yeh, I was unclear as to which power button we were discussing.

JT> In NetBSD, the keyboard power button currently does nothing.  I forget
JT> what the default behavior in Solaris for the keyboard power button is.

Solaris seems wont to do an init 5.

JT> I would say that the keyboard power button should continue to *default*
JT> to doing nothing, unless some wsconsctl option is set for it to do
JT> something.

Agreed.  's too easy to hit the blasted thing offhandedly.

[Shift-meta-control-alt-power might be a good something to map, though]
