Hi All, I am implementing a daemon which uses network-sockets(TCP). One problem, I am facing during testing is, that "address already in use" when I try to restart the daemon after shutting it. I have also given the socket option SO_REUSEADDR and also closing the socket from daemon during daemon shutdown procedure. I am still getting the messages that "bind problem: address already in use". What I know that this problem is due to 2MSL time. I was wondering if there is any way to modify this, may be through /proc or by passing some kernel parameter. and what is the 2MSL in current linux imlementation(2.4.x) Or is there any other suggestion to fix this problem?
