Again, Matt, with all due respect, please do not post your operational habits as universals. Somebody who keeps a session to a server around so they can see syslog messages if there's a problem may have an idle connection for weeks. In case you still doubt the existance of such a person, I give you a counterexample. Having just spoken with nemo, I am quite certain that he is alive and well, and from my dealings with him have no doubt he would become somewhat miffed if I were to kill off several of his sessions.
