I agree with others that you want to do something other than kill the telnet session, like unplugging the cable. I've seen similar behavior out of cyrus that I thought could easily be people on laptops shutting their computers down hard, in some way that the TCP/IP stack never got a chance to clean up the connection properly. With a QUIT or a kill, you're giving the OS a chance to do the right thing. -Michael ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
