Connections to my machine that were cut off by my box losing it's ppp
connection haven't timed out even after a few days.
My system:
fenris@ulfheim:~$ uname -a
Linux ulfheim 2.1.14 #1 Sun Dec 1 16:51:28 PST 1996 i586
Network connection consists of a 28.8 PPP dialup to an ISP.
The problem:
fenris@ulfheim:~$ netstat -tn
Active Internet connections (w/o servers)

Some of these connections are three or four days old, and still haven't
timed out. Shouldn't they have, by now? And how can I clear them without
resetting the machine, BTW?
