Hi Henrik; Thanks for the reply. My persistent_request_timeout parameter is not set (I think the default is 1 minute), but I have helpers that keep the reserved flag forever, like helper 10 shown below: # FD PID # Requests Flags Time Offset Request 1 8 396 275933 R 30.279 0 (none) 2 9 397 303442 R 19.112 0 (none) (...) 10 17 405 1389 R 86914.103 0 (none) 11 18 406 6117 21.434 0 (none) (...) It is reserved for a long time (NTLM Authenticator output shows 86914.103 seconds), and it will never leave this state. Any ideas why the timeout is not working?

Only the timeout on the client connection who reserved the helper in order to be abple to perform an NTLM handshake. This timeout is controlled mainly by the persistent_request_timeout parameter.
