Netstat broken

Whenever I try to use netstat in Terminal it doesn't print out what it's suppose to print out. Here's what I get when I type netstat;
routing:
          0 bad routing redirects
          0 dynamically created routes
          0 new gateways due to redirects
          4294957722 destinations found unreachable
          0 uses of a wildcard route
          2 routes not in table but not freed
and if I type whereis netstat in Terminal it shows me it's in /usr/sbin/ then when I try typing /usr/sbin/netstat in Terminal it shows me all the routing tables as normal as it should when it's run like so;
Active Internet connections
Proto  Recv-Q  Send-Q   Local Address          Foreign Address        (state)   
tcp4       0         0          <local_addr>                  <addr>          ESTABLISHED
tcp4       0         0          <local_addr>                  <addr>          ESTABLISHED
tcp4       0         0          <local_addr>                  <addr>          ESTABLISHED
(I've edited out addresses for the purpose of this example to show what I should be getting)
It's really frustrating why it's not executing the one in /usr/sbin/, I've no idea where it's trying to run the other netstat since it won't tell me, and it only displays 1 when I enter whereis command. I've tried making an alias under my .Profile file but it's got no effect what-so-ever. It's like the link to the file is broken or something. I've tried running Permission Fixes via DiskUtility but that doesn't fix it, I've also tried installing the gnome-netstat from MacPorts and that doesn't work either, I have tried restoring previous state of the system, but still no change either.
IS there a way to fix this and get it working as normal? Because I have no idea how to fix a broken link to a file since I don't know where it's trying to run the other netstat from. I also run OSSEC-HIDS which does report checks and it doesn't tell me anything unusual, however it does sometimes report that the current netstat could be trojaned version of netstat, but I've already confirmed that it's a false-positive detection as there's been no changes to the hash sum if it were changed as I have ran multiple tests to confirm it, and even looked up some help from the OSSEC-HIDS support forums. –– I am NOT looking to reinstall the system unless it's really necessary, I would like to just find a simple fix to this little bug problem.
I just hope there's no some stupid obvious fix that I missed.

Perhaps you have an 'alias' or a 'shell function' answering to 'netstat'
alias netstat
typeset -f netstat
If you find you have an alias or shell function, then start looking in your shell initialization files.
.bashrc
.bash_profile
.bash_login
.profile
/etc/profile
/etc/bashrc

  • Broken network alias/Weird netstat results

    After working fine for months, all of a sudden I can't connect to one particular system I have on my home network (it is a network attached storage device). The problem is only from one machine (I have 2 other Macs and they work fine). I also have other systems (including another identical storage device) that all still work fine. My network alias links for this device complain that they are broken. I can't connect regardless of the protocol I use -- SMB, FTP or HTTP. I can't even ping it as I get "no route to host".
    I changed the IP address of the system to see if I could get around it that way -- no good. I checked the network tables (netstat -rn) and found that there are some curious entries for that device both before/after I changed its IP address:
    192.168.1.10 127.0.0.1 UHS 0 0 lo0
    192.168.1.15 link#4 UHLW 0 9 en0
    These appear to be static routes stuck in the routing table that give erroneous routing information on how to travel to my storage device. Any idea how I get rid of these entries as, it seems, they are the key to solving the issues I'm seeing?

    You can use the route command to manipulate your routing tables.
    sudo route delete 192.168.0.10
    Or you can flush them all with route flush but you'd better be prepared to add the default gateway back (e.g. sudo route add default 192.168.0.1).
    But that's more informational than anything, 'cause I don't think that will solve your problem. Something's advertising those routes and they'll probably show right back up. Maybe I'm wrong, give it a try.

  • Line style of Word tables is ignored. Broken lines or dotted lines appear as uninterrupted lines

    Bug in Adobe XI:
    The line style of Word tables is ignored. Broken lines or dotted lines in Word tables are shown as normal uninterrupted lines in PDF file.
    For example, in my Word document I choose the following line styles in tables: dotted line (.........................) or broken line ( - - - - - - - - - - - - ).
    In the PDF file, all lines are shown as normal uninterrupted lines (__________________), even if I zoom in 800% or more.
    Is there a solution for this problem? (In FreePDF, it works well, but FreePDF has other disadvantages and therfore is no solution for me.)

    Ok 1st one. The warning restriction message relates to this line in main.cf:
    smtpd_helo_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated  permit_mynetworks  check_helo_access hash:/etc/postfix/helo_access  reject_non_fqdn_hostname  reject_invalid_hostname  permit reject_invalid_helo_hostname
    The last reject occurs after the single word "permit" and is ignored.
    However, that's not the problem.
    I'm not exactly sure what's happening, but this might be a clue.
    It would appear that either postfix is not being able to create the socket for private/policy or it's somehow created with the wrong permissions.  You might need to ramp up the debug level to get a better idea.
    You could check if it's being created by "netstat -a | grep private/policy" in terminal.
    My guess is that it's not being created because there is no setup statement in your master.cf file, but I don't understand why postfix would be looking for it if it isn't set up.  Private/policy I think relates to grey listing.  Maybe gives you a hint.

  • The command line 'route' command is broken - what alternatives are there?

    The 'route' command appears to be broken in Mavericks ( now also in 10.9.4 ). It does update that tables, so netstat -r makes it seem that it has worked. However, browsers, pings and trace routes all give errors such as 'out of memory'.
    So, what can I do to set up working alternatives to the standard routing?
    There certainly is some routing capability, and the ability to change it - if you use the OS/X server and set up a VPN, you can set up routing there. So it should be possible to access it through the command line somehow.
    Any suggestions gratefully received.
    I really thought that this would be easy, but it's turned into quite a headache.

    This isn't a great fix but it's helped us out. We created an autoit script to edit the firefox.js file found in program files\mozilla firefox\default\pref. It searches for the line "pref("app.update.auto", true);" and changes it to "pref("app.update.auto", false);". It's a pain but it's the best we could come up with.
    Note: We updated to 3.6.14 and even with the setting above FF still did an auto update to 3.6.15.

    And, there is a simple java program can reprocedure this issue, please run following steps:
    1. Modify connection string at about 44 line.
    2. Compile, javac TestConnection.java
    3. Run, java TestConnection
    4. Wait less than 10 minutes, the ODBC connection is then broken.
    Also you can run 'netstat -an' to monitor the connection TCP port, you can find the TCP connection is broken:

  • Jackd + guitar: "timeouts and broken pipes"

    Hi friends! I'm trying to pass my electric guitar via any rack/effects (like Guitarix or Creox) with no luck. I've got this sound card:

    I try with QJackCtl and invoking jackd from the terminal with any luck.

    I can hear my guitar and record with Audacity, but when jackd enter into the escenario everything blows up. I read that nowadays almost any sound card will work with QJackCtl with the default options. I play with the parameters and sometimes jack refuse to start. With the default options on i can make it run, but i get no sound of the racks or guitar effects processors neither the guitar tuners that use jack takes the sound from the guitar. My line input is in capture via alsamixer, but still no luck. Any clue on this? I'm skipping steps?
    Thanks in advance.

  • HT1688 I have a damaged I-Phone and I need the contents of my calendar off of it. I did not have Mobile me at the time.  Can I swap out the sim card from the broken phone to a new phone and recover this calendar?

    I have an older I-Phone (3G) that for some reason the body of the phone has split in two.  This phone was a business phone and it had a lot of important information on it. I have a second phone that is also a 3G.  On the broken phone there is a lot of important information that I need in my calendar. Im not worried about anything else but the calendar.  I didn't have the Mobile Me account at that time or I would be having this problem. Does anybody know if I can ust switch out the sim cards. I just need to recover the old calendar, so im hoping that the calendar will transfer when I switch the sim card into the good 3G. If that doesn't work does anybody know of anyway that I can retrieve this information off of this phone?

    Nothing is stored on the sim card on an iPhone.  If you backed up to your computer the backup will contain your calendar events.  Otherwise, if your phone isn't functioning there is no way to back up or extract your calendar at this point.

  • HT1384 My lock screen/power button on my iPod Touch is broken, and I need some assistance.

    As the title suggests, I can not use the lock screen/power button on my iPod Touch, it is broken. I can use Adaptive Touch to turn the screen on and off at will, and also turn my device off. But if I turn it off, I don't know how to get it to turn back on. Could I just plug it into a charger and turn it back on, or would I need to plug it into my computer? Please help, in a few days I won't have access to it for 9 weeks, I need immediate help.

    If you power off the iPod, it will turn back on if you connect it to a charger like a wall charger or a computer. I just checked with a charging source to confirm. I knew it did it with a computer.

    if the computer your music library is synct with  is broken how do y transfer your music on your iphone to a new itunes on a new computer

    1. Disable automatic syncing on connection:  iTunes Prefs > Devices > Disable....
    2. Connect phone.
    3. Right-click the device tab on left border of iTunes window and select "Transfer Purchases."  This will transfer all iTunes store purchased music, media and apps to the iTunes library on the computer. 
    It won't transfer non-iTunes store music/media (i.e. CD's you ripped  yourself) and these will get deleted from the phone when you sync.  There are 3rd party apps for your computer which may be able to backup non-iTunes media on your phone.  Google.

  • [LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276nw] only vertical lines when scanning, scanner broken?

    Hi all! I have a problem with the scanner in my HP all in one. If I scan (using the printer function or apples ImageCapture: same result) the output is just a lot of vertical stripes (in colors when in color mode). Not a trace of the image I try to scan. The lines are there even if i scan an empty white page. I see the stripes both when doing a preview scan and an actual scan. The problems are very similar regardless of if I use the flatbed or the feeder scanner (they are separate scanner hardware, yes?). I have updated to the latest software for the printer/scanner and I am connecting over bonjour via wireless. I am on Os X 10.9.1. Anybody having similar problems or is my scanner just plain broken? Thanks in advance!Jon

    , , I understand that both of you are seeing vertical lines when scanning from your Laserjet M276nw. First, make sure the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet and not a surge protector. Now, so I know where to begin I'd need to know the following:If you are seeing the vertical lines when you copy as well as scan?Are you seeing the vertical lines when you copy from the flatbed? The document feeder? both?If you are seeing the lines from both the flatbed and the feeder are they in the same place?Once I know this I'll be better able to assist you.

  • My Mac has broken and I want to sell it for parts. How can I be sure that my personal data that is/was on the hard drive is safe?

    My 2006 MacBook Pro has broken. There is a little bit of drive noise when I turn it on, but then nothing happens. It is no big deal. Most of my files were backed up. There are a few files I would like to recover if possible, but nothing worth a major effort.
    I have seen that broken MacBook Pro's go for about $300 on eBay for parts, so I would like to sell the MacBook Pro. However, I only want to do that after I am sure that my personal data is wiped out. Does anyone know how I can accomplish that? Does anyone know of an easy way to search the old hard drive for some of the data that I lost? Can a Genius Bar take care of this stuff for me (and how much do they charge?)?
    Thank you for your help.

    The ONLY real secure way to be sure that noone may recover data from your drive is, to remove the drive, and drill one or two 1" holes thru the disk.
    A bit less secure but useful way is, to wipe out the data with a tool that's overwrite all sectors of the drive with randomized data in multiple runs.
    For example: Permanent Ereaser http://www.edenwaith.com/products/permanent%20eraser/
    Independent tests bring out, that even specialized recovery companies with forensic tools are unable to find useful data after such a run.

    There are some recovery tools out there to fit your needs, e.g. MacKeeper http://mackeeper.zeobit.com/mac-data-recovery

  • I need to install the HP drivers on a laptop with a broken screen in order to get VGA port to work.

    OS: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1
    Hewlett Packard Model: 2000 2a20ca Notebook
    Oh my god please give me some insight here, it is so hard to find the right answers and I refuse to lose to this technical box that's driving me nuts! So here's the run down:
    My screen broke on laptop...fine. It was connected via HDMI to TV and working fine. Until one day it decided to not turn on. I think due to Windows updates and hubby had no patience so kept restarting
    I tried to reload Windows on it, not thinking about the drivers, and I'm pretty sure I managed to reload Windows. Now I need the drivers to install chipset, networking etc. (which I have a disc for)
    The problem is I cannot see the screen in order to click "install", I can't see the BIOS or the boot sequence. Ugh! And even if I could, the drivers are not installed to use the CD ROM or VGA port.
    I can HEAR Windows start up and turn on! Doo-DO-Doo-DO lol the darn thing is working!
    The monitor works in my other laptop.
    Would/Should the VGA monitor work if I could get it to start in safe mode?
    I've heard of a program that can streamline the driver's into a Windows installation disc so everything is installed altogether but how can I reinstall Windows if the drivers aren't loaded for the CD ROM?
    Is there a way to get the necessary drivers installed? or is this notebook now garbage?

    1.  The model number is the first thing at the top aside from the OS.
    2.  In my explanation it states:  "I have the drivers on a disk"
    Thanks for all your help!
    Getting the drivers is not the problem.  Getting the drivers installed on a laptop with a broken screen...is the problem.
    Ok, well sometimes you can't use external monitor to see what is happening in some laptops and the only real way to fix this is to fix the broken screen so you can reformat and resinstall the system again. Those are you only options at this point in time.

  • PDF Portfolio, broken in 9.4.6 also...... not funny Adobe...

    PDF portfolio on Linux broke in 9.4.2, with newly released 9.4.6 it's still broken. It has been broken since February. I wonder if Adobe takes these things seriously, for sure it doesn't look that way. Many governmental institutes  use portfolios, so please make an effort and fix it

    as per Joel's recommendation, used 4.5 instead - that worked just fine
