hello, if you are sure there is no process associated with this port (you can try using lsof) and you have waited long enough there is little chance you can do this without rebooting the machine. the default TIME_WAIT expiration interval is 4 min. you can tune this and set it to a lower value using: ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_time_wait_interval 60000 (the default is 240000 milliseconds). greetings, Stoyan _______________________________________________ Solaris-Users mailing list [email protected] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/solaris-users
