As I mentioned in my reply, those TIME_WAIT sockets are actually already 
closed, so the process information is no longer available, with either 
netstat -p or fuser -n tcp <port>.  But you probably figured that out 
already, this being a reply in parallel.

Thanks.  That did it.  =8^)  And sorry that it came over a bit heavy 
handed.  I make it a point to mention it if I'm already replying, 
figuring it's my reply, if I'm going to answer I get to choose how, but 
as a couple others rightly pointed out with their response in kind, this 
mention /was/ rather heavier handed.  So thanks for taking it in the 
spirit intended even if it didn't come out quite right. =8^S

And glad you found the rest of the reply of use, too! =8^)
