Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has found / knows of a way to kill sockets that =
are stuck in FIN_WIAT_2 state - without rebooting the server.

When I kill the processes (in this case the pop3 server) that allows the =
connection, it still takes about 3 hours for the socket to time out and =
die.

-Grant
