Netstat problem

Joseph A Benaiah_1 — Fri, 12 Jul 2002 10:36:04 GMT

Dear All,

I am running netstat -a on a server and I do not get a complete list of the services that are listening. These include the standard UNIX services as well.

However, running netstat -an does display the ports that are listening or have some form of socket connection.

Has anyone seen this problem in the past and how did you fix it.

The server is an R380 running HP-UX10.20

Cheers,

Joseph.

Joseph,

Do you have the latest patches installed? Especially networking related?

hi,

the difference between netstat -a and netstat -an is the latter resolves the names into ip.

check with lsof, if u find all services with lsof then it is problem with patches.

I agree with VV that lsof is a better tool to determine who and what is doing to whom.

Thanks for the input. I suspected that it was patch related. I was just hoping that someone had this exact experience.

Cheers,

Joseph.
