while that is entirely true, I really don't see much of a point here. actually, if I were to implement these parts now I'd make it print port numbers only and not names - we don't print hostnames either. but - it has been that way for more than 6 years. I don't see a good reason to change it now. And I certainly don't want to add YAO (Yet Another Option) for that. That said, I am not the only developer in that area, and my word is certainly not then end of all wisdom. > and last but not least, it is in line with the other network tools > (so i hope Henning will have a good night's sleep) and as an added > bonus, patch was attached. the patch was fine, technically, yes. > ps. maybe some day some people on this list will stop defending the > devs as if they couldn't speak for themselves (they can) or couldn't > shout at those pesky lusers themselves (oh hell, they can). yup.wanna try the shouting part? :) (nah, no reason to here) -- Henning Brauer, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] BS Web Services, http://bsws.de Full-Service ISP - Secure Hosting, Mail and DNS Services Dedicated Servers, Rootservers, Application Hosting - Hamburg & Amsterdam
