No established= =20 > plan, though. Eventually I'll re-get all the sources and compile again. Adding a timeout shouldn't be all that hard. It should be a matter of extending the "connection" table by "last packet's recv/send time" and check this table entry upon each new request. > Another problem which is already known is mopd dying when one of > interfaces it's listening on goes down. Haven't seen that, but my interfaces tend to not go down (at least not until the whole machine goes down...).
