Well, I discovered tonight what happens if you put the following in root’s .bashrc:
/sbin/shutdown -h now
Basically, you have a difficult time administering the machine. I finally fixed the problem, but not before shutting the machine down unintentionally 5 times. Even single user mode couldn’t fix it!
I’m going to bed. I stayed up much later than intended fixing the shutdown issue and trying to configure a www cache server (= proxy server).
