Here is the fishing lesson. "which ss" gives you a path "yum provides /usr/sbin/ss" gives you a package name "ls /usr/share/doc/$packagename" gives you some files to look at. in that listing was ss.ps. Find a way to open or read ss.ps like gv or ggv and you have some info. CSI it ain't! -- MailScanner is like deodorant... You hope everybody uses it, and you notice quickly if they don't!!!!
