The ports are stuck in CLOSE_WAIT, because the processes are stuck in memory so the sockets can't close.
Does 'kill -9 processnum' not work? -- James Hawkins

Probably not. I regularly face them and the only way I know is to reboot -- Bill Medland mailto:billmedland(a)mercuryspeed.com http://webhome.idirect.com/~kbmed

How can kill -9 not work? It should kill the process without question unless I'm wrong. -- James Hawkins

I think this is a kernel bug that was fixed in more recent kernels. Thanks Steven __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - You care about security. So do we. http://promotions.yahoo.com/new_mail

When I say Linux 2.6.8 fixes the bug, I mean the standard kernel shipped by Linus. I've got no idea what Redhat does, and they tend to apply alot of patches to their kernel, so it wouldn't suprise me if it's still broken. Mike

Yep. RedHat Enterprise Linux 3 and RedHat Desktop 3 2.4.21-20 (heavily modified, as you said!!!) is still broken -- Bill Medland mailto:billmedland(a)mercuryspeed.com http://webhome.idirect.com/~kbmed

The fixed version is 2.6.8, earlier versions were problematic. I don't think a 2.4.21 variant can be called "still broken" since it predates the fix. Vincent

Vincent Yes, but that's the problem with Red Hat; just 'cause it says it's 2.4 doesn't really mean a thing. RHEL3 basically contains, as far as I understant it, a 2.4 kernel with a load of 2.6 stuff hacked into it. (I think RHEL4 is supposed to have a 2.6 kernel when it comes out) -- Bill Medland mailto:billmedland(a)mercuryspeed.com http://webhome.idirect.com/~kbmed
