Description of problem: Man page states that "netstat -i eth0" should only print out the statistics for that interface. netstat is just ignoring this. "netstat -c -i" or "netstat -c -i eth0" should print continously statistics our about all interfaces or about the specified interface. All it does, it prints out the first set, then just repeats the header line. netstat on RH9 does the -c correctly, but errors out when an interface name is specified.

This has been fixed in newer releases and has been reported previously. The -i option is still bugous though (see #102769), looking into that today. Read ya, Phil
