What do you mean by "Hibernating"? Any process will need to be running in order to close connections; otherwise, the kernel has to at least track that "This connection has been closed by the other side, but not yet acknowledged as closed by this side.".

Hi, I'm running a tor server on Debian etch (0.1.2.14). It's currently hibernating. Today I needed to restart it. After the restart the number of active connections dropped (<URL:http://www.kubieziel.de/tmp/br.png>). Why had it open some 30 connections even if it was hibernating? It's not used as OP or anything else, just a plain OR. Also the restart freed approx. 200M RAM. -- Jens Kubieziel http://www.kubieziel.de Pazifisten sind wie Schafe, die glauben, der Wolf sei ein Vegetarier.
