[Savannah-hackers] pserver broken

[Loic Dachary]

        Hi,

        This morning xinetd was restarted (instead of being reloaded
gracefully). It now complains that pserver is already bound and cannot
be bound. However, netstat -tln + lsof all agree that the pserver port
is not bound. Checking ps -uawwx confirms this.  I recall that in the
past this problem occured and was solved when some timeout finaly
decided that it was not bound anymore.  However, the timeout is not
occuring (or is very long) and I fear we will have to reboot the
machine.

        The problem is probably rooted at the LAST_ACK below. I have no
clue how to get rid of this, specially since it's not bound to any process.
Restarting the corresponding eth interface would probably flush this. Advices
are welcome.
