Hi,

Is there a way to decrease the time connections stay open?

For example, this is what i get with netstat -an:

tcp        0      0  222.5.45.8.8080        TIME_WAIT
tcp        0      0  127.0.0.1.81           TIME_WAIT
tcp        0      0  222.5.45.8.8080        TIME_WAIT
tcp        0      0  127.0.0.1.81           TIME_WAIT
tcp        0      0  222.5.45.8.8080        TIME_WAIT
tcp        0      0  127.0.0.1.81           TIME_WAIT
tcp        0      0  127.0.0.1.81           TIME_WAIT
tcp        0      0  222.5.45.8.8080        TIME_WAIT
tcp        0      0  222.5.45.8.8080        TIME_WAIT
tcp        0      0  127.0.0.1.81           TIME_WAIT
tcp        0      0  222.5.45.8.8080        TIME_WAIT
tcp        0      0  127.0.0.1.81           TIME_WAIT
tcp        0      0  222.5.45.8.8080        TIME_WAIT

There are hundreds of connections like that..

Is there a way to close these after a specific amount of time, maybe in the
kernel source?

Thanks again
