>Description:
A type error in ifstat prevents it from working on amd64
According to the thread in
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2008-February/040478.html
The type to the fourth argument to sysctl is wrong
(int) and should be size_t.
>How-To-Repeat:
on a releng_7 box that is AMD64 make and install /usr/ports/net/ifstat and run it
[ns8]# ifstat -b
ifstat: no interfaces to monitor!
[ns8]#
With the patch, all works as expected.
