    I have an Ultra 10, 1gb mem, running Solaris 9. It is running apache2,
    tomcat, postfix, and mysql.

    It is not hit very hard and the total number of processes is not that
    great. I looked in /proc and saw a lot of these entries:
    dr-x--x--x 5 apache httpd 736 Sep 27 09:59 336
    dr-x--x--x 5 apache httpd 736 Sep 27 09:59 337
    dr-x--x--x 5 apache httpd 736 Sep 27 09:59 338
    dr-x--x--x 5 apache httpd 736 Sep 27 09:59 339
    dr-x--x--x 5 apache httpd 736 Sep 27 09:59 340
    dr-x--x--x 5 apache httpd 736 Sep 27 09:59 341

    These directories contain these files:
    ganja:/proc/340 #ls -la
    total 28628
    dr-x--x--x 5 apache httpd 736 Sep 27 09:59 .

    This box is in a colo right now and it is getting slammed by the current
    windows viruses, so I get tons of these half-connects:
    host.mydomain.com.http 130.94.13.99.1675 0 0 49312 0 SYN_RCVD
    host.mydomain.com.http 130.94.114.9.1408 0 0 49312 0 SYN_RCVD
    host.mydomain.com.http 130.94.166.161.1472 0 0 49312 0 SYN_RCVD
    host.mydomain.com.http 130.94.12.72.1206 0 0 49312 0 SYN_RCVD

    Is this something I need to worry about?
