The default kdmrc configuration uses reboot and halt to manage the system state, however using `shutdown -r` (in place of reboot) and `shutdown -h` (in place of halt) is a better solution because: 1] This results in warnings for the logged users 2] In the case of shutdown -h, it tries to power down the system if APM/ACPI support is present, as halt do on GNU/Linux. See also this mail written by a FreeBSD Core dev to kdenonlinux mailing list: http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-nonlinux&m=100980863816991&w=2 A possibile solution is to use sed in the src_install sections of the relevant ebuilds (kdebase and kdm) to edit the default kdmrc, as it happens now for xsessions path.
