On the reg tweak - if you have other services, like HTTP and FTP running, on the same box wouldn't it cause their connections to be cleaned up as well? HTTP shouldn't be that long, but with FTP, instead of having a 5 or 10 minute timeout by the FTP server, wouldn't this cause connections to be dropped after 1 minute? So for multi-function servers, perhaps a compromise of, say, 10 minutes? Darin.
