OK, bug in manpage. The -i option prints out stats for all interfaces. Will see if i can do a round of updated for the manpages sometime soon. Read ya, Phil This bug persists in RHL 9. *** Bug 102769 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** As just written in the latest bugreport i actually like the idea of monitoring a single interface, so i patched netstat over the weekend. Next version of net-tools will contain fix. Read ya, Phil To be more precise, net-tools-1.60-20 and later will contain the fix. Read ya, Phil |
