hi. we're having problems with disconnecting a telnet connection. we have this custom-made shell that is run (this is run in /etc/passwd) everytime a successful telnet login occurs. but when we forcefully disconnect the telnet connection (forcefully as in not typing 'exit' in the command line) we notice that our shell is still running (typing 'ps ax' will show this) and that the shell's vmsize is increasing. after a few minutes the system would gradually slow down until it hangs. In this system we're using xinetd. we've tested our shell on another system using inetd, and the telnet and the shell disconnected cleanly. any ideas on how to resolve this issue? thanks
