Description Need Real Name 2001-06-25 04:38:31 EDT

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0)

Description of problem:
Command "halt" does not turn off system's power like it did in RedHat 
6.x/7.0. I have to use "halt -p" or "poweroff" to turn off the system.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. logon on as "root"
2. type "halt"
3. system shuts down but does not get turned off.
	

Actual Results:  It happens.

Additional info:

I have to add a system-wide alias:
alias halt='halt -p'

This was changed to make the behavior more consistent. If you want to poweroff,
use 'poweroff'.
