Problem: apm no longer shuts down my ATX machines

There are half a dozen ATX machines (not counting my Sony VAIO laptop)
for which I am responsible for their care and feeding. All run Debian
"Sarge". I want them all to shut themselves off when I tell them to
shutdown (usually through the GUI but sometimes via ssh). Three have
been running "Sarge" for some time and up until a recent update (last
week I think) all had been shutting themselves off upon my command.

I did three new installations (the Debian Installer and my mirror a la
Greg Madden) between Christmas and New Year's Day. I was unable to get
these new installations to shut themselves off.

I seem to be missing an understanding about this stuff. I do have a line
in menu.lst (grup) that says apm=on, but it doesn't matter.

I sure will appreciate some help. fgd.
