The nightly periodic script for network interface statistics, daily/420.status-network, uses "netstat -in". This is not the same as dropped packets caused by use of ipfw or pf; these types of dropped packets would be caused by Ethernet problems (cabling or NIC driver issues) or similar anomalies on that level. I propose that -d be added to the netstat flag list, to give more visibility into problems. >How-To-Repeat: n/a >Fix: Change periodic/daily/420.status-network as documented in Description. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
