understanding netstat output
hello all, when i invoke netstat, i get the following : Active UNIX domain sockets (w/o servers) Proto RefCnt Flags Type State I-Node Path unix 2 [ ] STREAM 824491 /tmp/.X11-unix/X0 unix 2 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 824490 unix 2 [ ] STREAM 824228 /tmp/.X11-unix/X0 unix 2 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 824227 unix 2 [ ] STREAM 824171 /tmp/.X11-unix/X0 unix 2 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 824147 unix 2 [ ] STREAM 715277 /dev/log unix 2 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 715276 unix 2 [ ] STREAM 2095 /dev/log unix 2 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 2094 unix 2 [ ] STREAM 1158 /dev/log unix 2 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 1157 unix 2 [ ] STREAM 1126 /dev/log unix 2 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 1125 unix 1 [ ] STREAM 1054 can someone please tell me what they all mean ? or maybe direct me to docs that i could read so that ill know what they are. TIA, Chad

Active UNIX domain sockets (w/o servers) Proto RefCnt Flags Type State I-Node Path unix 2 [ ] STREAM 824491 /tmp/.X11-unix/X0 unix 2 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 824490 unix 2 [ ] STREAM 824228 /tmp/.X11-unix/X0 unix 2 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 824227 unix 2 [ ] STREAM 824171 /tmp/.X11-unix/X0 unix 2 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 824147 unix 2 [ ] STREAM 715277 /dev/log unix 2 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 715276 unix 2 [ ] STREAM 2095 /dev/log unix 2 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 2094 unix 2 [ ] STREAM 1158 /dev/log unix 2 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 1157 unix 2 [ ] STREAM 1126 /dev/log unix 2 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 1125 unix 1 [ ] STREAM 1054 These are 'unix domain' sockets. They are a seperate protocol from tcp/ip, and AFAIK are mainly unsed by X11. Any comprehensive unix network programming book would discuss them, and the advantages/disadvantages of them over tcp/ip. But for normal users, they are jsut a different type of socket that some programs use. Carl
