Subject: Help, not timing out connections

I have installed wu-ftp, and have a small problem.
It is not timing out users at all. I have ftp processes hanging around
for days before I kill them manually, and of course this causes the
maximum limit of anonymous ftp's to be reached often.

Here's the version I am running:
220 carver FTP server (Version wu-2.4(1) Fri Oct 6 16:01:41 PDT 1995) ready

The system is a Sparc running SunOS 4.1.3C

Here is a line from ps -aux
USER       PID %CPU %MEM   SZ  RSS TT STAT START  TIME COMMAND
ftp      26282  0.0  0.0  804    0 ?  IW   16:43   0:00 -netcom7.netcom.com: ano
ftp      24469  0.0  0.0  800    0 ?  IW   07:59   0:00 -dialin-124.wustl.edu: a

As you can see, the processes never use any time, which I assume is why they
never time out.

Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks

Yea :-( It appears to be _very, very_ strange.

One good reason why computers can do more work than people is that they
never have to stop and answer the phone.
