Subject: SCOUG-Help: Too many sockets ?

NETSTAT shows that I have almost 1,000 closed sockets, which I've never
seen before (usually I have a dozen or so):

[G:\]netstat -s
---------------------------------------------
AF_INET Address Family :

SOCK TYPE FOREIGN LOCAL FOREIGN STATE
PORT PORT HOST
==== ====== ======= ===== ======= ======
1461 STREAM 0 0 0.0.0.0 CLOSED
1460 STREAM 0 0 0.0.0.0 CLOSED
etc.

Do these remain "in the socket table" until I reboot? Do they "time
out" after a while? Should I be concerned with this large number of
entries?

Thanks,

- Peter
