Hi, This may not be a tcpd issue. If it is, then you should experience a delay just before "Connection closed..." message and be able to see one or two connections to your auth port (aka ident) from the target machine in a TIME_WAIT state:
% netstat | grep auth Otherwise, in case it's happening *sometimes*, it could be faulty cables or faulty software. From what you wrote it's not possible to discover this. You should check with netstat what was going on on a particular connection.
