There are several http connections that have remained in the state FIN_WAIT_2: tcp4 0 0 x.x.x.x.80 z.z.z.z.4080 FIN_WAIT_2 tcp4 0 0 x.x.x.x.80 y.y.y.y.41185 FIN_WAIT_2 >From apache logs: z.z.z.z - - [26/Sep/2003:22:42:45 -0700] y.y.y.y - - [26/Sep/2003:13:32:36 -0700] Running 4.8 Release #1. Any idea why these are sticking around so long? David
