*groan*  why couldn't this be happening on a server that I have better remote 
access to? :(

But, based on your explanation(s) above ... if I kill off all of the jail(s) on 
the machine, so that there are minimal processes running, shouldn't I see a 
significant drop in the number of sockets in use as well?  or is there 
something special about single user mode vs just killing off all 'extra 
processes'?
