How to clean users ghost sessions created by network failures during sessions etc.

[kaksikanaa]

If users use Iridium browser as a client a whole day (or even days and use hibernations during the night) and during that time there is unexpected network failure or other connectivity problem, the result is users ghost sessions in the main room active contact list shown to the other users. Is there any way on the server side to avoid this situation somehow eg. to refresh the users and their clients status automatically?

At the moment we have to restart the server but even after that there seems to be those ghost sessions left afterwards.

What version is this. There have been an issues in older versions where in some cases, connections were not cleaned up. Please update to the latest (0.29 or newer). A session should disappear as soon as the underlying network connection gets disconnected on the server.

We have not had any issues since update to the newest version so this is solved.
