netstat: sysctl: net.inet.tcp.stats: Cannot allocate memory

[Vicky Shrestha]

Dear all,

I am running FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE and I have a problem with netstat. I cannot 
see the tcp sockets stats using netstat -p tcp or netstat command. When using 
"netstat -s" command I get "netstat: sysctl: net.inet.tcp.stats: Cannot 
allocate memory"

At first I thought it was a problem with netstat binary ,however even after 
copying binary from the other working server with same release of FreeBSD , 
it didn't work.

The only change I made was to built a new kernel with the following options:
# IPSEC
options   IPSEC        #IP security
options   IPSEC_ESP    #IP security (crypto; define w/ IPSEC)

#IPFW
options IPFIREWALL
options IPDIVERT

I also do cvsup to sync the src and ports, I think the netstat binary and 
kernel is out of sync however, when I do make 
inside /usr/src/usr.bin/netstat/ it gives me the following errors:

Warning: Object directory not changed from original /usr/src/usr.bin/netstat

`carpstats'

*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src/usr.bin/netstat.

How can I resolve this issue, help and pointers to the web will be 
appreciated.
