Consider upgrading to 4.10-RELEASE,
while you'r doing that, you may resolve some old issues (caution,
we abandoned a few thing between 2 & 4, such as one old scsi
controller I used to have, Future domain something 85 as I recall).
I sympathise with "never touch a running system" but 2.2 is
Seriously ancient !
-SNAP was for testing, not for production. Use releases for long term
bases if you want to install freeze & forget. Could be no one else
even runs your ancient particular version :-)
If you'r running such seriously ancient software, maybe you'r also
running ancient hardware ? eg I have a loose co-axial 10M ethernet
connection somewhere, periodically makes my internal net go `sticky'
(Well yes, Ive got a 100 Switch, but it's got a loud fan :-)
There's tools in /usr/ports/sysutils/ for net performance &
packet sniffing etc. Also in 4.9-RELEASE & 5.2-RELEASE there's
man netstat
The netstat command symbolically displays the contents of various net-
work-related data structures.
man sysstat
