> netstat -n |grep EST |wc -l thank you.
let me make the grain a little bit finer: i have a freebsd box acting as a IPFilter bridge for a class c subnet - is there any way i can view how many concurrent connections this machine is handling? netstat -s returns: root@fw[~]% netstat -s tcp: 81157 packets sent ... 83237 packets received ... 360 connection requests 4466 connection accepts 4783 connections established (including accepts) 4823 connections closed (including 0 drops) ... are any of the stats returned by netstat -s an indication of the current amount of connections? -- :// randall s. ehren :// voice 805.893.5632 :// systems administrator :// isber|survey|avss.ucsb.edu :// institute for social, behavioral, and economic research To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
