Why is Sleep disabled in my OSX?

Ditto here - I have a Dual 450 MHz with 256 MB of RAM. Everything else is going swimmingly, but I've never been able to get it to sleep, either by the finder (it's disbled), or by the Energy Saver setting (it just shuts off the monitor).

I have a dual processor Powermac with OSX installed. The Sleep command in the Finder menu is always disabled (although I have seen it enabled in the past). The iMac I have with OSX on it has Sleep always enabled. Any thoughts as to what would be disabling the Sleep command on the Powermac?

Do you have any serving facilities turned-on ? Any machine which is serving files or allowing incoming FTP or anything of the sort must not go to sleep since clients won't be able to access it.
