Have you tried using -W on netstat? "In certain displays, avoid truncating addresses even if this causes some fields to overflow." I tested it on my own IPv6 server after establishing a connection and reproduced your behavior with the truncated IPv6 addresses; however, once I added the -W flag, it displayed the entire address.
Unfortunately, I do not see a similar flag available for the who command...maybe a patch is in order? -------------------------- Mike Sweetser | Systems Administrator Adhost Internet 140 Fourth Avenue North, Suite 360, Seattle, Washington 98109 USA P 206.404.9023 T 888.234.6781 (ADHOST-1) F 206.404.9050 E [EMAIL PROTECTED] W adhost.com Our brand new Adhost West data center is open - contact us for a tour at 1-888-234-6781 (ADHOST-1) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael K. Smith - Adhost Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2007 1:37 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: IPv6 Display - Multiple Applications Hello All: I'm curious if there is any timeline for the correct display of IPv6 addresses in various displays. In particular, I'm interested in being able to see a full address in 'who' and 'netstat' so I can track connections to the server. Presently, the display shows: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ who mksmith ttyp0 Oct 16 13:26 (2001:468:1420:f:) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ netstat -a Active Internet connections (including servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address (state) tcp6 0 52 www6.ssh 2001:468:1420:f:.52619 ESTABLISHED t The full address includes another 64 bits or the whole host portion. Is this a bug, something in progress, or by design?
