This frequently happens but the user ends up disapearing after a few days. The process table appears to not even have an entry for that user, according to ps -xau. I also have it setup in my login.conf that sessiontime=3d for that user. I am using 4.5-RELEAE (patched). Is this some sort of bug, or standard behavior for lost connections.
