Precedence: bulk

We run a dedicated FTP server for a client (about 3k - 4k connections per
month). Many of the ftpd's don't die off after the transfer and keep
hanging around. Anyone have a solution to this problem, or have any
suggestions about what is causing it?

Any help would be greatly apprecaited.
