In my opinion, the biggest (potential) problem with having thousands of (de facto dead) TCP connections hanging around in FIN_WAIT_2 is the fact that there are still some linear traversals of the TCB list in the code (like in the timers). My apologies in advance if this has been addressed in -CURRENT; I "live" on the STABLE branch. Jim Shankland Flying Fox Computer Systems, Inc.
