Lots of goferd connections in CLOSE_WAIT with 230 (or 3639) bytes in Recv-Q

Latest response

Are anyone else seeing this or similar on clients to a satellite 6.2 server?

If I run "netstat -tap" on clients I often see that there are entries shown in CLOSE_WAIT with exactly 230 bytes. The python process here is goferd.

Restarting the goferd fixes up these entries, and I don't really see problems with this, but eventually I might.

In the below example from this morning I also see entries of 3639-3640 bytes. The Satellite server had been restarted last night, and the puppet port had been blocked for hours by IPTables (we do this at startup so Satellite doesn't get overwhelmed by a thousand hosts trying to connect to it), so this might be related to that.
