You mean I've been typing "netstat -f inet" unnecessarily all this time? :-( > ....However.... Perhaps it would be an acceptable compromise to fix > inetd so that it does not display AF_UNIX sockets unless specifically > requested with "netstat -f unix". Best of both worlds? Why pick on "unix"? No -f options means "all protocols". If you did restrict the default display to an arbitrary subset, you'd have to invent a way of specifying "all protocols" again without enumerating them. Annoying though it may be, I think the current behaviour (when fixed) is most flexible; invent an alias for ``netstat -f inet'' if you really it: inetstat() { netstat -f inet ${1+"$@"}; } Mark. -- "Tigers will do ANYTHING for a tuna fish sandwich."
