While rebuilding a number of packages today, I ran into a problem where the rebuild failed because it couldn't log into our anonymous ftp server. It turned out that there were too many ftp users at the time. While I was tracking this down (and nuking a bunch of cracker types who were attempting to find misconfigured servers to exploit :-), I noticed that the ``rpm --rebuild ftp://...'' processes were leaving zombie sessions open. A bit more log parsing showed that after the RETR command, the next command is ABOR, not QUIT as I would expect.
