Sometimes when I issue a netstat command on my SPARC 1+ running 4.1 I get output like :- tcp 0 0 localhost.4854 localhost.sunrpc TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 fiamass3.login serv.606 ESTABLISHED This is fine. However, from time to time the output contains hundreds of tcp connections like :- tcp 0 0 localhost.4864 localhost.sunrpc TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 localhost.4863 localhost.sunrpc TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 localhost.4862 localhost.sunrpc TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 localhost.4861 localhost.sunrpc TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 localhost.4860 localhost.sunrpc TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 localhost.4859 localhost.sunrpc TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 localhost.4858 localhost.sunrpc TIME_WAIT Is some daemon periodically setting up hundreds of sockets and then clearing them down again?
