Hi,

   Today I noticed when doing a "netstat" that I had a FTP session that was
still closing a couple of hours after the user had logged off.  Is there
any way to terminate this session?  or will it be like this until I reboot
the system (been up 30+ days, and really wanted to see how long I could go :).
Since this machine serves as an anonymous FTP server for the net, I can't
trace what the user did to cause this situation (ie. can't talk to them).
I'm also using the new FTPD with extended messages, but the same thing
happened with the old FTPD as well...  Thanks for any/all suggestions!
They are greatly appreciated!

Take care.

-Rich
