There are some points on that..
  • Telnet is unencrypted and out of date - ssh is the protocol to go for sure.
  • Trying to get a stable network should be the main task in this problem.
  • You might want to check with the process list ps how a dead session is different to a working one. Maybe there is missing an attached process and PPID is different that to working sessions. By that you could set up a small script via cron, that kills dead sessions for clean up.
  • There could be the one or other network option (see man no) that might be related to that, but I don't know if and which. Again, first 2 points of this list are the things to solve. Rest is just ugly workaround.

NAME
rt-clean-sessions - clean old and duplicate RT sessions SYNOPSIS
rt-clean-sessions [--debug] [--older <NUM>[H|D|M|Y]] rt-clean-sessions rt-clean-sessions --debug rt-clean-sessions --older 10D rt-clean-sessions --debug --older 1M rt-clean-sessions --older 10D --skip-user DESCRIPTION
Script cleans RT sessions from DB or dir with sessions data. Leaves in DB only one session per RT user and sessions that aren't older than specified(see options). Script is safe because data in the sessions is temporary and can be deleted. OPTIONS
older Date interval in the "<NUM>[<unit>]" format. Default unit is D(ays), H(our), M(onth) and Y(ear) are also supported. For example: "rt-clean-sessions --older 1M" would delete all sessions that are older than 1 month. skip-user By default only one session per user left in the DB, so users that have sessions on multiple computers or in different browsers will be logged out. Use this option to avoid this. debug Turn on debug output. NOTES
Functionality similar to this is implemented in html/Elements/SetupSessionCookie ; however, that does not guarantee that a session will be removed from disk and database soon after the timeout expires. This script, if run from a cron job, will ensure that the timed out sessions are actually removed from disk; the Mason component just ensures that the old sessions are not reusable before the cron job gets to them. perl v5.14.2 2013-05-22 rt-clean-sessions(8)
