That is correct. halt-hurd is basically halt -f, which is safe on the
Hurd, but skips the sysvinit shutdown. However, we need to figure out
why this hangs every now and then.
in my personal experience, I had "hangs" when I had a telnet session
open (I think also ssh.. I shall try again).
Usually all connected clients should get disconnected.
If I power on hurd and then login from consoe and shut it down, it works
reliably.
