Does SQL Server 2005 Clean Up Unclosed Connections?

Hi all,
I have a quick question with regards to how SQL Server (2005) will treat
conncetions that are left open (due to a programmer forgetting to close
them in a .net web app).
I'm basically wondering if they'll just sit their indefinately, or will
SQL Server kill them after a period of inactivity? If it will eventually
kill them off, what is the period of time that it will wait for?
Thanks to anyone who can advise
SimonSQL Server will kill (first rollback if necessary) the connections when the
network layer had
informed that this is no more.

OK - now what will cause the network layer that the connection is no
more? The application or website being restarted?
Thanks

te the application, I'd
assume that the network layer will report that the TCP session (for instance
) has been terminated.
