Some more info about my problems with netstat: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x08049941 in prg_cache_get (inode=-979118814) at netstat.c:281 281 if (pn->inode==inode) return(pn->name); (gdb) print pn $1 = (struct prg_node *) 0x68 (gdb) print hi $2 = 4294967185 (gdb) up #1 0x0804ca82 in unix_do_one (nr=15, line=0xbfffd420 "f3c0a0e0: 0000000D 00000000 00000000 0002 01 -979118814 /dev/log\n") at netstat.c:1215 1215 printf("%-" PROGNAME_WIDTHs "s",(has & HAS_INODE?prg_cache_get(inode):"-")); (gdb) print inode $4 = -979118814
That's a very strange inode, especially since ls disagrees: $ ls --inode /dev/log 5195 /dev/log= It gets that info from #2 0x0804cc82 in unix_info () at netstat.c:1237 1237 INFO_GUTS(_PATH_PROCNET_UNIX, "AF UNIX", unix_do_one); now, _PATH_PROCNET_UNIX is /proc/net/unix, and lo and behold: $ cat /proc/net/unix | grep /dev/log f3c0a0e0: 0000000D 00000000 00000000 0002 01 -979118814 /dev/log In fact, all the inodes in /proc/net/unix are messed up. If I do # service syslog restart then I get # cat /proc/net/unix | grep /dev/log c7b460c0: 00000003 00000000 00000000 0002 01 -757341101 /dev/log The inode is still messed up. Now I have: # rpm -q sysklogd sysklogd-1.4.1-4mdk which is the latest version I believe. How can I get the entries in /proc/net/unix to be correct without a reboot? -- Ryan T.
