BTW, that interface is in promiscuous mode, the other is not. "bsdsar -i" shows "In Errors" on the order of 0.05% "bsdsar -I" shows "In Errs/s" on the order of 0.05% I am on: FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE bsdsar v1.10 - Eric Anderson Questions: - Are these interface errors or errors the interface is seeing on the wire? - regardless of where the errors are generated, do I need to worry about them since they are only 0.05% of the incoming packets? - Why is there NO information about this utility on the net? -- Yudhvir Singh Sidhu 408 375 3134 cell
