The only thing I can attest to this is the growing number of unclosed tcp connections. When I type netstat -an I see about 300 lines like this: tcp 60 0 209.218.208.2.4058 159.138.7.1.6667 CLOSE_WAIT tcp 60 0 209.218.208.2.2893 159.138.7.1.6667 CLOSE_WAIT tcp 60 0 209.218.208.2.2021 159.138.7.1.6667 CLOSE_WAIT tcp 60 0 209.218.208.2.3015 159.138.7.1.6667 CLOSE_WAIT tcp 60 0 209.218.208.2.4907 159.138.7.1.6667 CLOSE_WAIT tcp 60 0 209.218.208.2.2139 159.138.7.1.6667 CLOSE_WAIT tcp 60 0 209.218.208.2.2780 159.138.7.1.6667 CLOSE_WAIT tcp 60 0 209.218.208.2.1706 159.138.7.1.6667 CLOSE_WAIT tcp 60 0 209.218.208.2.1132 159.138.7.1.6667 CLOSE_WAIT tcp 60 0 209.218.208.2.3166 159.138.7.1.6667 CLOSE_WAIT I was wondering if there was any way to get rid of these without going through and finding the program that made the connection since I have around 200 people connecting and running programs. My system is running FreeBSD 3.0-RELEASE. Perhaps there is some problem in the kernel which would cause it to not close some of the connections correctly? If any one can help I would greatly appreciate it. Andrew Fisher Admin@Lucian.Net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
