Hi, How can I stop an active network connection? e.g.,
$ netstat Active Internet connections (w/o servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State tcp 0 0 192.168.0.100:ssh ip-72-55-146-217.:35911 ESTABLISHED Because barbarians are pounding at my sshd gate again: . . . Dec 2 16:41:37 helios sshd[9201]: Invalid user chad from 72.55.146.217 Dec 2 16:41:37 helios sshd[9201]: pam_unix(sshd:auth): check pass; user unknown Dec 2 16:41:37 helios sshd[9201]: pam_unix(sshd:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=ip-72-55-146-217.static.privatedns.com Dec 2 16:41:39 helios sshd[9201]: Failed password for invalid user chad from 72.55.146.217 port 42328 ssh2 . . . I shut down my sshd daemon, but the network bandwidth did not drop. The active connection went away in the netstat output, which is wrong, and iftop was able to reveal the still-live connection.
