Top Forums Programming Using socket to test a TCP port Post 302512802 by DGPickett on Monday 11th of April 2011 04:11:30 PM

What sort of timeout are you referring to? As I recall, tcp sockets do not have a connection time timeout, that is application level. Are you writing the server or the client? For server bind, you use SOCKOPT_REUSEADDR so you can bind while old connections are still in post connection timeout. After a socket is closed, there is still the possibility that buffered data is yet to be written (controlled by the linger option) or the fin ack may be lost and a second fin will arrive asking for another fin ack, so there is a latent structure for the connection still active for a time.

NAME
lmtpd - LMTP server process SYNOPSIS
lmtpd [ -C config-file ] [ -U uses ] [ -T timeout ] [ -D ] [ -a ] DESCRIPTION
Lmtpd is an LMTP server used to deliver mail to the IMAP mailstore. It accepts commands on its standard input and responds on its standard output. It MUST be invoked by cyrmaster(8) with those descriptors attached to a remote client connection. Lmtpd reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file unless specified otherwise by -C. OPTIONS
-C config-file Read configuration options from config-file. -U uses The maximum number of times that the process should be used for new connections before shutting down. The default is 250. -T timeout The number of seconds that the process will wait for a new connection before shutting down. Note that a value of 0 (zero) will dis- able the timeout. The default is 60. -D Run external debugger specified in debug_command. -a Preauthorize connections initiated on an internet socket, instead of requiring LMTP AUTH. This should only be used for connections coming from trusted hosts. FILES
