Hi, I'm seeing strange problem with sockets in state FIN_WAIT_2. netstat -n |grep FIN_WAIT_2|wc -l shows 12234 lines, Those sockets never die and just grow more and more, when finally today I saw this in logs: postfix/smtp[6968]: connect to gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[66.249.91.27]: Can't assign requested address (port 25) and this happens not only to postfix, but all clients & servers on this host. Even things that use only local connections throw out: connect: Can't assign requested address Shorty after I moved away almost everything from this server, there was a spontaneous reboot. I know what apache and some buggy clients can cause sockets to stay in state FIN_WAIT_2, but they should disappear after some timeout. Is there a point to go for 6.3-prerelease, or nothing like this was reported, respectively fixed between may 2007 and today? Migration to RELENG_7 is not option for me at this point as this host serves something like 6mbps of http traffic, and there is a report that sometimes hosts running releng_7 can't be reached .. 6.2-STABLE from May 9 - amd64 Thanks in advance.
