Killing CLOSE/CLOSE_WAIT Sockets?

1999-01-13 Thread Dale Harrison
IT's. They don't seem to disappear. Is there any way I can nuke these manually? or decrease the time it takes for the kernel to clean them up? Or even increase the number of simultaneous connections per socket? Or am I barking up the wrong tree? Help appreciated.. :)

pppd 2.3 oddity. Help me, dammit! :)

Howdy, I recently [ie, 6am this morning] upgraded one of my bo boxes to hamm, via apt-get [which I must say is incredibly cool.. ] Everything seems ok, except for ppp. It doesn't want to work anymore. I'd be happy if that were the end of the story, it'd mean that I was doing something wrong. See,

Can someone else out there in Debianland confirm this? IMAP4-4.1 won't delete messages. It might be a new feature or something, but as there was no dox with it, it's hard to tell. I downgraded to IMAP4-4 and everything's hunky dory. Bug? Feature? D. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST:

Howdy, Got a bit of a problem here. Actually, it a LOT of a problem. I had a fairly standard bo installation. I ran the autoupgrade.sh script, which seemed to work, kind of. It missed a whole lot of stuff in /oldlibs and some stuff in /base when retrieving everything, so the system was in a half
