Adding to a lengthy thread on a simple issue... If you are stuck then
you might be able to clear sessions with snmp (if you have write access
to the box). I *think* the oid thingy is some subset of: .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.9
Potentially saves you driving down there :-)
The best method is probably the x many hours one though.
