Of course..I was just answering the 'safe shutdown' issue.
Recovering a lost passwd will require console access however.

If all you wish to do is halt it...type halt.
You can telnet to it, rsh to it, use Filerview...
I would imagine all of these need a password to log in, which the user doesn't have.... Right?

Hi,
Please, forgive me if this is in some FAQ but I couldn't find any. (Could you point me to it?)
I've lost the root password of our filer. I've read in the SA Guide that I can change it by booting from a diskete. However, the filer is up and running. How can I reboot it in a safe manner having no access to its command line (short of powering it down)?
**THIS IS TOTALLY UNTESTED**
I would think if you failed a drive, the system would bring itself down cleanly after X hours.
