I assume you meant "check_ftp -s QUIT -H <host>".  :-)  I tried that and
it does the same thing.  If I telnet to port 21 and type QUIT, it doesn't
leave a process laying around.  However, at this point I don't think it's
the plugin's fault -- I tried installing the proftpd server on another
one of my boxes and it doesn't exhibit this symptom.  I'm scheduled to
replace the current ftp server early next week -- hopefully the problem
will not follow to the new server.  :-)
