Alex,

Is there a way in TCP/IP to kill activity on a specific port (12257 for instance)?

what about ipchains or ipfwadm to deny everything TO that port (tcp I guess) ? kr= \\\___/// \\ - - // ( @ @ ) +---------------oOOo-(_)-oOOo-------------+ | kris carlier - kris@iguana.be | | Hiroshima 45, Tsjernobyl 86, Windows 95 | | Linux, the choice of a GNU gener8ion | | SMS: +32-75-61.43.05 | +------------------------Oooo-------------+ oooO ( ) ( ) ) / \ ( (_/ \_) - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/ and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html

I tried the fuser port/protocol --> no errors, but no luck either I even tried with -k flag. The reason I need to kill activity on a port is to kill the user "unconnected". Who plays quake knows what I am talking about ;-) It's a user that "sits" on a quake server and does not "play", thus using up the bandwidth and a place for another real player. Eventually "unconnected" disconnects, but it takes time. I am writing a small program that monitors ports used by the quake server and if it spots "uconnected" -- "resets" the port.
