- Have a look at /etc/tcp.clean: at the end of the file, you'll find a section
- `# Bring down all network interfaces' which is executed just ahead of
- `# Remove lock files'. That explains your shutdown hangs.
- I have modified the code to bring down the network interfaces, i.e. I've
- excluded the critical one from the list to be brought down.
