I run Linux 2.0.14 and sometimes it doesn't close tcp connection.

I mean I have now something like this:

tcp 0 0 rj.algheronet.it:8080 alc-3.algheronet.it:1104 ESTABLISHED
root
tcp 0 0 rj.algheronet.it:1203 www.bethsoft.com:www ESTABLISHED
root

The fact is that there are NO USERS logged in that machine from 3 hours....
And many times I have to reboot the Server or the Cisco Router because I
find some 30 tcp connection open (but with no user logged nor locally nor
away for a www:80 connection.

Is it a Kernel bug or what ?

Do somebody help me?

Thanks in advance,

Greets,

Andrea Calcagno
