For example, this is what i get with netstat -an: tcp 0 0 222.5.45.8.8080 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1.81 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 222.5.45.8.8080 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1.81 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 222.5.45.8.8080 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1.81 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1.81 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 222.5.45.8.8080 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 222.5.45.8.8080 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1.81 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 222.5.45.8.8080 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1.81 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 222.5.45.8.8080 TIME_WAIT There are hundreds of connections like that.. Is there a way to close these after a specific amount of time, maybe in the kernel source?
