These have been hanging around for hours now.
ihug# netstat -n | grep 2532
tcp 0 59766 130.216.35.104:3128 130.216.35.102:2532 LAST_ACK
gate.cs# netstat -n | grep 2532
tcp 0 0 130.216.35.102.2532 130.216.35.104.3128 FIN_WAIT_2
ihug is a linux box running redhat, linux kernel linux-2.2.7
gate is a Digital alpha running Digital Unix 4.0C .
Neither end is timing these connections out and removing them from their tables.
Obviously the process on gate has closed a socket and sent the fin to ihug. ihug has
sent the ack, closed the socket and sent the fin to gate, moving to the LAST-ACK
stage. Gate has received the ack to its fin and moved to the FIN_WAIT_2, but never
received the fin from ihug. Both are now waiting for the other and neither times out.
