I have a couple of FreeBSD servers (2.2.6R and 2.2.7S) to/from which large files are often transferred by users with dial-up ISP access. Inevitably the connections fail occasionally in mid-transfer. Most of the time the ftpd daemon goes away gracefully in a few minutes. But sometimes it hangs around much longer, or indefinitely: >From ps aux | grep ftpd (done today): open 3940 0.0 0.1 292 184 ?? Is 16Nov98 0:01.82 ftpd: ip219.tu open 10051 0.0 0.1 292 184 ?? Is 16Nov98 0:00.05 ftpd: ip-50-10 Running netstat shows connections ESTABLISHED on local ports 20 and 21 for the above two remote hosts. Obviously, I can kill these ftpd processes by hand, but I'm wondering why this happens. -- Graeme Tait - Echidna To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
