Hi folks, netstat cuts off the IPv6 addresses. Sample:
# netstat -f inet6 -ln | cat Active Internet connections (only servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address (state) tcp6 0 0 2001:db8:30:7e::.25 *.* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 2001:db8:13b0:ff.25 *.* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 fe80::fd10:ed0b:.25 *.* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 2001:db8:13b0:ff.25 *.* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 fe80::6b40:ec1:6.25 *.* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 2001:db8:30:7a::.25 *.* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 fe80::b6dc:f912:.25 *.* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 2001:db8:30:7d::.25 *.* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 fe80::26a:cab5:9.25 *.* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 fe80::bce1:3eb3:.25 *.* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 2001:db8:30:60::.25 *.* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 fe80::3d13:32fb:.25 *.* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 2001:db8:30:7a::.25 *.* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 fe80::f5c5:bc1e:.25 *.* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 2001:db8:30:7d::.25 *.* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 2001:db8:30:7e::.25 *.* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 2001:db8:30:60::.25 *.* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 fe80::8e60:fc3b:.25 *.* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 fe80::1%lo0.25 *.* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 ::1.25 *.* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 *.1023 *.* LISTEN Active Internet connections (only servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address (state) udp6 0 0 2001:db8:13b0:ff.1194 *.* udp6 0 0 *.* *.* udp6 0 0 *.* *.* udp6 0 0 2001:db8:13b0:ff.443 *.* Active Internet connections (only servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address (state) ip6 0 0 *.* *.* 58 You can imagine that remote addresses are cut off in a similar way, making the tool pretty useless for IPv6. Of course I get the same problem if stdout is bound to a 300 column terminal. Do you think this could be improved? Linux' netstat supports an option "--wide", for example. A custom output format might be helpful, too. Regards Harri
