It’s tcpcb in the example to indicate that the protocol is TCP. Example: #netstat -Aan | grep 23 f10000f3019c9b58 tcp 0 0 *.23 *.* LISTEN #rmsock f10000f3019c9b58 tcpcb The socket 0x19c9800 is being held by proccess 278614 (inetd). #ps -lp 278614 F S UID PID PPID C PRI NI ADDR SZ WCHAN TTY TIME CMD 240001 A 0 278614 364626 0 60 20 d121a400 468 – 0:00 inetd That's all ...
