I found out how I killed my system: as suggested in section 9 of the
NextAdmin documentation, I added the option "-PowerOffDisabled true",
as shown in the example, to the console line of /etc/ttys.  Then
loginwindow simply hangs.  I took it out, and now it works again.

Instead, I have it now in root's default database, and that seems to
work.  (I.e. "dwrite loginwindow PowerOffDisabled true".)
