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)?
