I have permanent connections to Canonical servers, what are they for and how can I turn them off?
- by Dan Dman
After the recent upgrade to 12, I notice permanent connections to canonical servers.
Running netstat -tp gives:
Foreign Address State PID/Program name
mulberry.canonical:http CLOSE_WAIT 6537/ubuntu-geoip-p
alkes.canonical.co:http CLOSE_WAIT 6667/python
alkes.canonical.co:http CLOSE_WAIT 6667/python
Why are there permanent connections and how could I stop this behavior?
And if this is intentional, who is responsible?
I would like to understand why this was done because to me it seems like a bad idea.
