Open sockets in UNIX

[Guest_imported]

Hello everybody,

I need to know if a socket can be closed in UNIX.

Example.

netstat -na lists established sockets in the system.
How would I disable them or close an opened socket with its ip and port number or is there any other way to do this.

Thanks

You would need to locate the daemon or application that has the socket open and shut it down. Do you have any particular socket in mind?
