Hi. We're an ISP using Livingston portmasters and running 2.1-stable. Our portmasters
are set with an idle timeout of 30 minutes. I have noticed that when users get booted
off by the timeout, their csh process hangs around. Is this a bug? Or am I doing 
something wrong on my end. We don't reboot our server very often, so this ends up
being a problem for us.

Also, we run the poppassd daemon so that users can change their passwords via 
Eudora. We have the same problem - if a user disconnects in the middle of 
changing their password, the process hangs around forever and ties up a pty.
Does anyone have a fix for this?

Thanks.
