Excuse me if this is obvious, but: When I'm in ftp, and it dies for some reason, the connection doesn't (or doesn't seem to) go away. It stays there until the system is rebooted, in FIN_WAIT_2. 1) Is this actually a bad thing (i.e., how much [if any] does it steal in the way of resources)? 2) Is there any way of punting them (without rebooting)? -Miles, bader@a.psy.cmu.edu
