I'm afraid my experience is the same as Michael's. They *may* eventually get
cleaned up, but unfortunately they stay for long enough to sometimes create
a record lock which does not go away without intervention. That's when my
clients ring me. They have everyone disconnect and I can still see a
connection/user. I was hoping 2.1 would give me the ability to drop this
connection without resorting to restarting the service. Is that not the
case?
