Author Sleeping connections

Running Sql Server 2000, I have about 20 Sleeping connections "NT
Authority\System" with dbName=master.

What are these and how do I close them?

I think they are connections I was trying to make across my VPN with my Sql
Server Enterprise Manager that was having a hard time connecting or just
freezing and I had to kill the program.

Thanks,

Tom

Hi

If these processes are no-longer talking to SQL Server they should
eventually be removed. You could try using KILL on them, this is detailed in
Books Online:

"Use KILL very carefully, especially when critical processes are running.
You cannot kill your own process. Other processes not to kill are:
AWAITING COMMAND
CHECKPOINT SLEEP
LAZY WRITER
LOCK MONITOR
SELECT
SIGNAL HANDLER"
