the system with problem is using kernel 2.4.2 on an P200 with 64mb ram. It
has about 20 users that use the box... (ftp, telnet, lynx, bitchx,...).

the problem is when the parameter tcp_mem HIGH gets exeded after about a day
of use! Then the box is going from the net and its not awailable. I tried to
tune the system with adding more in proc tcp_mem but the problem is still
there the box only lasts for bout 2h longer.

and i get this in messages

kernel: TCP: too many of orphaned sockets

It looks like my system is not droping closed sockets?
