Hi, I telnet to my target system running linux 2.6.14 (PowerPC 32 platform). If at that time I cat /proc/net/tcp at my serial console, I see no entries for the ESTABLISHED tcp connection that telnet is running through: FD21:root> cat /proc/net/tcp sl local_address rem_address st tx_queue rx_queue tr tm->when retrnsmt uid timeout inode 0: C0A84A66:0381 00000000:0000 0A 00000000:00000000 00:00000000 00000000 0 0 814 1 c7eb1040 300 0 0 2 -1 1: 7F000001:8009 00000000:0000 0A 00000000:00000000 00:00000000 00000000 0 0 575 1 c7eb17c0 300 0 0 2 -1 2: 00000000:006F 00000000:0000 0A 00000000:00000000 00:00000000 00000000 0 0 195 1 c7eb1b80 300 0 0 2 -1 3: C0A84A66:0050 00000000:0000 0A 00000000:00000000 00:00000000 00000000 0 0 948 1 c7eb1400 300 0 0 2 -1 4: DCDCDC02:0050 00000000:0000 0A 00000000:00000000 00:00000000 00000000 0 0 949 1 c343cba0 300 0 0 2 -1 5: C0A84A66:0050 C0A84A66:0471 06 00000000:00000000 03:000000BD 00000000 0 0 0 2 c2fda660 Those "0A"s under "st" are listening sockets. The "06" is an old connection in time wait. But no established connections are shown, which I believe should be showing up as "01"s (at least they do when I do the same on the PC I have Redhat running on). netstat, which appears to derive its output from this proc entry, thus shows no active connections: FD21:root> netstat -tn Active Internet connections (w/o servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State FD21:root> Any ideas as to why I am not seeing established TCP connections in /proc/net/tcp?
