Clean up TCP Bound connections

2007-12-25 4:32:00

Hello Gurus,

On a Sun Solaris 8 box, telnet has stopped working after inetd daemon was
HUP'ed. The inetd.conf file likes fine and has the following entry
uncommented:

telnet stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/sbin/in.telnetd in.telnetd.

Right now there is in.telnetd daemon is not running on the box and attempts to
start it from Inetd have failed.

netstat -an | grep 23 shows 15-20 TCP BOUND connections:

*.23 *.* 0 0 32768 0 BOUND
*.23 *.* 0 0 32768 0 BOUND
*.23 *.* 0 0 32768 0 BOUND

*.23 *.* 0 0 32768 0 BOUND
*.23 *.* 0 0 32768 0 BOUND
*.23 *.* 0 0 32768 0 BOUND

Can I clean up these bound state tcp connections with out a server restart.

I will summarise.
TIA
