Tim, Darrell, tdeio in R14 is not closing sftp connections after they are opened to save files, etc. I was looking at ps axf to check on why kmix cannot find any mixer, and I stumbled across reams of open sftp connection. During this session I had opened a file to save kcontol issues I found on a local server named 'nirvana'. The name of the server IS important here because it looks like tdeio is logging the incorrect name 'nirvan' in order to track the connection. Over the course of an hour or so I had 'saved' the file numerous times. At the time I check 'ps axf' I had long since closed the file that I had opened via sftp, so all sftp connection should have been closed long ago. Instead I found: 912 ?
