Description of problem: Man page of netstat states: netstat {--interfaces|-i} [iface] [--all|-a] [--extend|-e[--extend|-e]] [--verbose|-v] [--program|-p] [--numeric|-n] [--numeric- hosts][--numeric-ports][--numeric-ports] [--continuous|-c] --interface=iface , -i Display a table of all network interfaces, or the specified iface). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): net-tools-1.60-12 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. netstat -i eth0 2. netstat --interface=eth0 3. Actual results: 1. netstat will print out usage message 2. netstat will print out usage message and in addition: netstat: option `--interfaces' doesn't allow an argument Expected results: Print out the statistic of eth0 only Additional info:
Just remembered, this has been entered before. I've patched netstat over the weekend to work according to the manual and will fix the usage output. The next net-tools rawhide version will contain the fix. By default netstat will use all interfaces (as it used to do) but a single interface to be monitored can be specified now, too (-ieth0 or --interface=eth0) Read ya, Phil *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 61113 ***
