I keep logging onto our ftp server and seeing sessions that I'm sure
haven't been touched in many hours, sometimes a day or two.  I'm pretty
sure that these are sessions which were sloppily abandoned by their
users (we have some real winners dialing into here sometimes), but
shouldn't the sessions be killing themselves after this long a time?

I read in the ftpd manpage that the -t option will set a timeout value,
but that the default timeout is 2 hours.  My ftp line in inetd.conf
doesn't contain a -t.

Does that mean that there's something I need to attend to besides a
timeout issue, or do I need to explicitly call the -t option?
