Hi, I have an issue with our Fedora Consumers running 1.2.0 on Fedora 10 in that they don't seem to be closing old connections and so the open connections are building up until performance is impacted and eventually we run out of file handles. Looking at one consumer netstat is showing 711 Established connections to port 389 from a Radius server, and the console is also reporting over 700 "Open Connections". Yet on the Radius server I see 3 Established connections which is what I would expect. It seems each time the Radius server restarts (which it does often to pickup config changes) then the old connections timeout on the Radius server but remain Established on the Fedora side. We do see the same behaviour from other services such as mail and web servers but Radius is the worst due to it restarting regularly. On the console I have currently configured an Idle Timeout of 300 seconds and added timeout config to the Fedora OS: tcp_keepalive_time = 600 tcp_keepalive_intvl = 75 tcp_keepalive_probes = 9 Why are these connections not timing out after the Idle time? At the moment I am having to regularly restart the directory service in order to clear the connections down. Thanks. Jim.
