[Gllug] ftp sessions don't time out for a long time

[Formi]

Hi people,

 I have this issue that has been nagging me for quite a long time, one
 of the users of the server uploads quite a lot of files from a 
 btopenworld dial-up account. He says he closes the session properly, he is running
 W2k, I don't remenber the name of the ftp client...

 It is now 2:20 am, he disconnected his machine 13 hours ago, but the connection still shows up. 

 19849 user1 0 2408  1640 S  0.0  0.9 ftpd: host213-1-136-176.in-addr.btopenworld.com: user1: IDLE 0:00

 If it helps the machine is running Red Hat 7.3, and the ftp server is wu-ftpd.
  
 Can somebody shed a light on why the session is not timming out?

 Another hint, this also happens with webmin connections. But not as often as the ftp connections, 
 all being done by the same person.

 Thanks for any input on this.
