*scratch*

It is not a diary the most people have rather a *scratch* Emacs buffer. It keeps notes about everything related to Linux, Open Source, UNIX, MacOSX and software engineering.

Solaris TCP port close timeout internal by default is very long

From FLEXlm Solaris notes: We recommend adding the following command to the boot scripts due to a bug in the Solaris operating system.

Solaris 2.1-2.6:
/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_close_wait_interval 2400

Solaris 2.7 and higher:
/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_time_wait_interval 2400

By default on Solaris, upon stopping a license server, 1 to 5 minutes are required for the port to free up so it will restart, which can result in checkout failures. The command above resets this default to 2.4 seconds
