Another one might be to stop and start the SNMP (and related) daemons,
since, as I posted earlier, CLOSE_WAIT means that the application on
*your* side doesn't close the connection. But I'm certain this won't solve
your actual problem.

You have to fix the *cause* of the problem instead of the symptoms. Manually
removing the connections in CLOSE_WAIT is a symptom, not a cause. Try to fix
snmpd. I can't really help with that, since I don't know much about it. The
"badIdentity" error in the log looks like some user/password/communityname-
error, but I really won't know.
