To: Linux Kernel List Reply-to: gene.heskett@verizononline.net Message-id: <200603281244.24906.gene.heskett@verizon.net> Organization: Organization? Absolutely zip. MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit Content-disposition: inline User-Agent: KMail/1.7 Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Greetings; Always curious as to what sort of information can be extracted from the tools linux gives us, I've discovered that netstat, from the net-tools-1.60-25.1 rpm no longer functions for anything as even a 'netstat --version' takes the curser to the upper left corner of the screen and hangs till ctl+c'd. The only evidence of its execution is a steady, about 2 per second, increase in the number of processes running as reported by gkrellm, all of which go away when I ctl+c netstat itself. I'm running 2.6.16 self configured here. Is this a known problem because my net-tools rpm is old? Or because 2.6.16 broke it? -- Cheers, Gene People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word 'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's stupid bounce rules.
