I have also noticed this "header loop" problem in 7.2 and 7.3 :-( Some other things to consider: I have VLAN tagging support enabled in the kernel, and the interfaces are numbered "eth2.1" "eth2.3" "eth2.6" etc The output of netstat -i truncates the vlan info: ahab.tcx:~>netstat -i Kernel Interface table Iface MTU Met RX-OK RX-ERR RX-DRP RX-OVR TX-OK TX-ERR TX-DRP TX-OVR Flg eth0 1500 0 5402237 0 0 0 8238977 0 0 0 BMRU eth1 1500 0 0 0 0 0 4 0 0 4 BMU eth2 1500 052588493 0 0 0 3349587 0 0 0 BMRU eth2. 1500 047633201 0 0 0 3349585 0 0 0 BMRU eth2. 1500 0 64242 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 BMRU eth2. 1500 0 4891045 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 BMRU eth3 1500 028901820 227 0 0 3601108 0 0 0 BMRU eth3. 1500 028806827 0 0 0 3601106 0 0 0 BMRU eth3. 1500 0 94993 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 BMRU lo 16436 0 433 0 0 0 433 0 0 0 LRU It would also be good to have a flag that enables netstat to quit after a certain number of samples, ala "vmstat" so I could do a "netstat 5" (like on FreeBSD) and it would do 5 second samples, and also if I could specify it to exit after doing that for n times. (makes it hard to use netstat with scripts if it has to be killed off.) i.e. "netstat 5 -c 10" -- would output a sample every 5 seconds, 10 times, and then quit. R.
Fixed in current version of the net-tools package in Red Hat Linux 9. Read ya, Phil
