In the past I have instructed users to use netstat to e.g. ensure that their custom and potentially insecure perl/python/java programs are only listening on localhost. I filed this bug only from the perspective of getting people migrate to iproute as painlessly as possible. However, this is a cosmetic issue. I can very well instruct them to type /sbin/ss. (But then the path /sbin/ss should stay working for the next 10 years please :-)) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
