Hi! systat netstat has shown me that I have a ton of fin wait states. I
think that's what's slowing down traffic to my web server. How do I get rid
of them? I've put "set timeout { tcp.closing 30, tcp.finwait 30 }" in my
/etc/pf.conf. It doesn't seem to do the trick. I know very little about
what fin wait states are. Could it be an indication that I'm being DOSed?
