Hi all, I have been dealing with some connection problems between two hosts (backup server <-> client) and I think they are related to connection timeout... Checking those connections (control and data) with 'netstat' command, it's shown some timers (with '-o' parameter), but there isn't any info in the manual page about their meaning (neither through Google): tcp 0 52936 IP1:862 IP2:897 ESTABLISHED on (7.74/15/0) ^^^^^^^^^ looking in the netstat code, I haven't found any comment about their meaning, just the names (but they haven't got any sense for me): snprintf(timers, sizeof(timers), _("on (%2.2f/%ld/%d)"), (double) time_len / HZ, retr, timeout); Does anybody know what they mean (in particular, the second one 'retr')? Could somebody send me a link or any clue?
