No you didn't misunderstand my question. Alt-SysRq-x via ssh doesn't
work, and that's what I was wondering about. :)

I'm curious: can anyone logged on do this? With the physical Alt-SysRq-x
people have to actually go into the server room, up to the server,
connect a keyboard, and do their mumbo-jumbo. With this anybody can say,
unmount all filesystems, right?

:(

But thanks, anyway. I'm thinking about whether or not I should do this
(and just restrict logins to root, or something like that).
