I am deploying LTSP5 against Fedora Core 10. The problem i have is if terminal (thin X11 client) dies or halt or poweroff, application started on a server remains running and listen their socket for requests from terminal, for example after two terminal poweroff i have a some process waiting: [root@elbrus screen.d]# date; netstat -apn | grep 10.1.5.153 | sort -k 4 субота, 13 грудня 2008 18:42:25 +0200 tcp 0 0 10.1.1.4:42693 10.1.5.153:6001 ESTABLISHED 31318/gdm-simple-sl tcp 64 0 10.1.1.4:42696 10.1.5.153:6001 ESTABLISHED 31339/dbus-launch tcp 0 0 10.1.1.4:42697 10.1.5.153:6001 ESTABLISHED 31339/dbus-launch tcp 0 0 10.1.1.4:42698 10.1.5.153:6001 ESTABLISHED 31341/gnome-session tcp 0 0 10.1.1.4:42700 10.1.5.153:6001 ESTABLISHED 31349/metacity tcp 0 0 10.1.1.4:42702 10.1.5.153:6001 ESTABLISHED 31355/plymouth-log- tcp 0 0 10.1.1.4:514 10.1.5.153:53188 ESTABLISHED 29067/rsyslogd tcp 0 0 10.1.1.4:514 10.1.5.153:53399 ESTABLISHED 29067/rsyslogd tcp 0 0 10.1.1.4:59272 10.1.5.153:6001 TIME_WAIT - tcp 0 0 10.1.1.4:60119 10.1.5.153:6001 ESTABLISHED 32728/gdm-simple-sl tcp 64 0 10.1.1.4:60122 10.1.5.153:6001 ESTABLISHED 32749/dbus-launch tcp 0 0 10.1.1.4:60123 10.1.5.153:6001 ESTABLISHED 32749/dbus-launch tcp 0 0 10.1.1.4:60124 10.1.5.153:6001 ESTABLISHED 32751/gnome-session tcp 0 0 10.1.1.4:60126 10.1.5.153:6001 ESTABLISHED 32758/gnome-setting tcp 0 0 10.1.1.4:60127 10.1.5.153:6001 ESTABLISHED 32759/metacity tcp 0 0 10.1.1.4:60129 10.1.5.153:6001 ESTABLISHED 32765/plymouth-log- tcp 0 0 10.1.1.4:60130 10.1.5.153:6001 ESTABLISHED 32764/gdm-simple-gr tcp 0 0 10.1.1.4:9572 10.1.5.153:33675 ESTABLISHED 32702/sh [root@elbrus screen.d]# and their remains in running state and opened sockets till server reboot. After some days of working i have a bunch of process waiting for reply from dead Display sessions. As solution i did a patch that set *SO_KEEPALIVE* on opened socket. As result, applications dies gracefully in a predictable interval, so setting sysctl variables: net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_time = 60 net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_probes = 6 net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_intvl = 10 net.ipv4.tcp_fin_timeout = 10 could help to decrease time their waiting for connection been closed. Patch attached.
Created attachment 326870 [details] set SO_KEEPALIVE flag on socket
maksym: Did you try to send the patch upstream? That's usually the best way how to have it downstream (Fedora).

Well, when is the patch applied upstream, we will have it in fedora with the next upstream release of libxcb. > > > That's usually the best way how > > to have it downstream (Fedora). > Is it possible to move this post to suitable category? Not sure what you mean...? > Any chance for this patch to be commited? Well, the load of bugs is higher than package maintainer can make, so, he prioritize his work and thus some bugs are still open after several months. When you send the patch upstream, you probably will have the fastest reaction possible.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
