Help. The 2.2.18pre series from Alan Cox, through pre21, has a problem with connection in CLOSE_WAIT that data still in the buffers. The connections never go away: Active Internet connections (w/o servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State tcp 0 0 router.home.pc:ssh mutt.home.pc:918 ESTABLISHED tcp 1 0 router.home.pc:time mutt.home.pc:2013 CLOSE_WAIT The program I was using when I discovered this is rdate, it apparently has a bug that exposes this bug. The above condition is persistant for over 24 hours so far, and I have observed up to 5 days without the connectins going away. I do not think they will short of a reboot. As I would like to sync my machines using rdate, and the 2.2.18pre series are the most stable and feature complete kernels available, I am hoping that this can be either fixed, or give me some direction as to the source file location, I can probably fix this myself. This problem may exist in other 2.2.x series kernels, but I only started using rdate recently. -Shawn -- Shawn Houston mhouston@gci.net - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org
