>Description:
When doing a netstat -s, many counters about transferred bytes
are displayed. These are 32bit quantities. With NetBSD being
stable, it is well possible that a computer sends or receives
more than 4GB in its livetime (a busy news/web box will get them
within a week).
>How-To-Repeat:
$netstat -s -s
[..]
tcp:
9299827 packets sent
4594962 data packets (2586830728 bytes)
^^^^^^^^^^
Are these really 2GB or 6GB or ...
>Fix:
Change all involved counters from u_long to u_quad and also the
associated printf's
