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?
