We have users who need to rsh to each and every client (around 1000 or so) to update a config and then we run out of TCP connections since most of them are still in FIN_WAIT (or what ever the state is). I guess what I am saying is that in cases where you recycle TCP connections on a quick basis, keepalives causes you to run out of connections prematurly (sic). - JimP -- --- @(#) $Id: dot.signature,v 1.10 2001/05/17 23:38:49 Jim.Pirzyk Exp $ __o Jim.Pirzyk@disney.com ------------- pirzyk@freebsd.org _'\<,_ Senior Systems Engineer, Walt Disney Feature Animation (*)/ (*) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
