Hi Grant,

I have set sysctl net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_keepalive=0. But both FIN_WAIT_1
and FIN_WAIT_2 does not seem to disappear. Even now, my squid proxy box
shows:

15 CLOSE_WAIT
   5 CLOSING
2260 ESTABLISHED
2083 FIN_WAIT_1
 829 FIN_WAIT_2
 132 LAST_ACK
   5 LISTEN
  28 SYN_SENT
 177 TIME_WAIT
   1 been

Can you shed some light on this ?

Thanking you..
