Hi Everyone,
I have a new question below about the netstat command. But first, just in
case you're wondering about my last two questions and why no summary...
1) Chmod not working. This one has been deferred to DEC. They are working
on it but still no solution.
2) Elm mail sorting out of order. Not a single cause/solution offered from
the list, except El Nino. :-)
So...here is my new question. Perhaps one of you network gurus has a quick
explanation for this. I've read through the man page on netstat. I've
looked in the Network Admin guide that came with my system and I've looked
through TWO Sys Admin books and none of them gives me a description of what
this means.
>netstat -r -s
routing:
4294934849 bad routing redirects
5830 dynamically created routes
0 new gateways due to redirects
13 destinations found unreachable
0 uses of a wildcard route
Why do my bad routing redirects get so high? Later in the day they'll drop
to only a couple of thousand redirects. This snapshot above was taken at
8:15 AM...before anything is even happening on my system!!! Can anyone
help me understand what this means? Uptime was looking very good when this
was taken. My system is only used for E-mail and is an Alpha 1000 running
DU 4.0b.
Thanks,
Debby
