You could configure the /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/services file to run a script 
that sleeps for an hour also on the port that you want to time out.

Hi Oracle-L,

I'm trying to simulate a situation (for testing) where any attempt to
make tcp connection to a machine hangs.
For example, connections using ssh or sqlplus hangs. No error message
(as seen when ssh server or listenere are down), just no reply.

Any advice on how to create this state on purpose?
The OS is Linux RH3 and RH4.



Temporarily add an entry to the hosts file on your test client, misdirecting
to a non-existent IP address.

This may or may not work, depending on where your client first looks
to resolve IP addresses. Generally the hosts file comes first.
