Hi.
I noticed the following misbehavior of netstat in 4.3.
The manual page says:
[... snipp ...]
-I interface
Show information about the specified interface; used with a wait
interval as described below.
[... snipp ...]
O.K.
Using 4.2 netstat -I <interface> works as expected:
-bash-3.2$ uname -a
OpenBSD piglet.badphish.dyndns.org 4.2 GENERIC#0 i386
-bash-3.2$ netstat -ib -I fxp0
Name Mtu Network Address Ibytes Obytes
fxp0 1500 <Link> 00:a0:c9:a0:73:84 514885834 263525662
fxp0 1500 fe80::%fxp0 fe80::2a0:c9ff:fe 514885834 263525662
But using the same command in 4.3 returns:
-bash-3.2$ uname -a
OpenBSD son-goku.badphish.dyndns.org 4.3 GENERIC#698 i386
-bash-3.2$ netstat -ib -I vr0

At least list of changes (http://openbsd.org/plus43.html) notes some
modifications to netstat but not this behavior.
Maybe a bug? Or how do I request the information for just a single
interface?
So long,
Andreas.
