And, for what it's worth, I'm always highly wary of using any third
party tool to maintain a system. Quite apart from the fact that there's
been various Windows things that claim to improve things, but just make
them worse, or are outright malware. There's the issue of the
application lagging behind the design of your system. As soon as
there's a change to how your system does something that it will
interfere with, you've either got to wait for it to catch up with the
new way of doing it, or risk it stuffing up your system.
Webmin and LinuxConf are two things that I've experienced them balls-up
a Linux installation, long ago. So it's not just a Windows issue.
Dear all,
at last I've found the source of problem.
It is fail2ban (an application which "bans IPs that make too many
password failures", that I use for SSH attacks).
It takes a very large amount of time to stop.
In fact, without it, F17 shutdown/reboot in few seconds.
Now, I probably submit a bug for fail2ban (in F16, it worked OK)
Thanks to all for the very helpful hints
Best,
