netstat and netstat --ddp have identical output.  I have netatalk installed
and working.

Hi,

I reveived a bug report a while ago about netstat --ddp not doing
anything different to just netstat. I had a brief look through the code,
and netstat doesn't seem to have any appletalk related code at all,
in spite of the manpage indicating otherwise. So I guess this requires
some effort to fix.

There's also a typo in the netstat (English) manpage:

net-tools/man/en_US/netstat.8:443:.I /proc/net/appeltalk
net-tools/man/en_US/netstat.8:444:-- DDP (appeltalk) socket information

which I presume should be "appletalk" ?

FWIW, the original bug report is at

http://www.debian.org/Bugs/db/33/33415.html

Cheers,
aj

I've fixed the typo.  Somebody who knows about Appletalk will have to submit a
patch to make the DDP support work properly.  Thanks.

route/netstat -r

I know this is an old bug that nobody might remember. But it is still
open after 8 years.

I don't have a working appletalk setup to test it, but the code seems
to have some support for it:

# LANG=C netstat -A ddp -r
Error opening /proc/net/atalk_route: No such file or directory
DDP (AppleTalk) not configured on this system.

Bernd, shall we close it now?

I dont have a working apple talk setup, and I am quite sure the code does
not work with 2.6 kernel. So I would not close the bug unless somebody has
confirmed it shows anything.

Ah, yes, you're right. But maybe is the same fix as you did for some
similar bug? The path names are now:

 /proc/net/atalk
 /proc/net/atalk/arp
 /proc/net/atalk/socket
 /proc/net/atalk/route
 /proc/net/atalk/interface

tags 33415 + upstream
thanks

I have created a bug upstream for this. It seems not many people have
been using DDP in the last 16 years.. :-)
