Hello, I myself tried to do the steps that you had mentioned the email, but it was of no use. I then did the following steps as shown in the screenshot , I think I have got it. [root@amit ~]# cat /proc/sys/net//ipv4/tcp_fin_timeout 60 [root@amit ~]# cat > /proc/sys/net//ipv4/tcp_fin_timeout 30 [root@amit ~]# cat /proc/sys/net//ipv4/tcp_fin_timeout 30 To make sure that the changes are made in the right file, I went all the way don to the TCP_FIN_TIMEOUT file, and saw that the changes were there. [root@amit ~]# /sbin/service network restart Shutting down interface eth0: [ OK ] Shutting down loopback interface: [ OK ] Bringing up loopback interface: [ OK ] Bringing up interface eth0: Determining IP information for eth0... done. [ OK ] [root@amit ~]# cat /proc/sys/net//ipv4/tcp_fin_timeout 30 [root@amit ~]# cd /proc/sys/net//ipv4/ [root@amit ipv4]# cd tcp_fin_timeout bash: cd: tcp_fin_timeout: Not a directory [root@amit ipv4]# vi tcp_fin_timeout 30 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ "tcp_fin_timeout" 1L, 3C [root@amit ipv4]# cat tcp_fin_timeout 30 As you could see that the changes are there, so I guess that you can make it to 15 sec. Try it and let us know Regards, Amitesh Sahay -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-request <redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx> To: redhat-list <redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Mon, Jul 26, 2010 9:31 pm Subject: redhat-list Digest, Vol 77, Issue 23 Send redhat-list mailing list submissions to redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx You can reach the person managing the list at redhat-list-owner@xxxxxxxxxx When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of redhat-list digest..."
