#81125 — “7 deprecated Linux commands you need to stop using - and what to use instead”

Jack Wallen’s list
<https://www.zdnet.com/article/linux-commands-deprecated-why-do-not-use/>
of commands you shouldn’t be using any more, and what to use instead,
is a mixed bag.

ifconfig/iwconfig vs ip/iw -- the latter newer ones (part of the Linux
“iproute2” suite) offer greater access to all the features of the
Linux network stack than the former, older ones, and so are preferable
in lots of ways. It is already possible to find setups which don’t
have the old commands installed by default; I’m not sure if any
distros have actually dropped the option for installing them
altogether, but no doubt that will happen at some point.

scp -- wrong. rsync, scp and sftp are all different ways of
transferring files securely over SSH. scp did use to use its own
protocol at one point, but it has been upgraded to use the same
underlying protocol as sftp, so it’s perfectly fine to continue using
the same command, if that’s what you’re used to. There is no sign that
the scp command itself is going to be deprecated at any point, though
no doubt the option to fall back to the old protocol for
compatibility’s sake is likely to be removed eventually.

egrep/fgrep -- it has been true for decades (possibly has always been
true for the GNU utilities?) that egrep and fgrep are just synonyms
for “grep -E” and “grep -F” respectively. And it is true that the
alternative names are finally being deprecated after all these years,
so it behooves you to learn to use the “grep” command for all forms.

netstat vs ss -- yes, another case of the newer iproute2-based command
taking over from the older, traditional command, and offering more
features besides. Same remarks as above apply.

route vs ip route -- iproute2 again.

arp vs ip neighbour/neighbor -- more iproute2.

   Sometimes more can be less. I rarely used ifconfig to
   actually configure things - but use it often just to
   see what's what. The Just The Important Stuff output
   is better than 'ip's.

   I do use scp sometimes as well, often for moving
   stuff to/between PIs with no GUIs. No, everything
   does not need to have a GUI. Little trick, install
   a simple GUI but don't enable it to autostart. That
   way it's there ... but not there ... suckin' CPU/mem.

   Grep is hyper-important.

   Rare use - but I still like the relative simplicity
   compared to all+kitchen_sink 'improved' utils.

ifconfig omits quite basic information. For example it misses out most
of the IPv4 addresses.

Bridge Membership, VLANs and Bonding is something that ip has at least
backwards. I find that information incredibly hard to find.

Here’s something else that still seems to be hard to find: given one
end of a “veth” (virtual Ethernet connection) device pair, how do you
find the other end? Bearing in mind these are commonly used for
connecting between containers/VMs, so the two ends might not even be
in the same network namespace.

Linux seems to offer no convenient API call or calls for this. Here
<https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/441876/how-to-find-the-network-namespace-of-a-veth-peer-ifindex>
is a discussion of how the question might be answered -- but be
warned, it’s quite convoluted.

Amen. Sigh.

Don't forget to mention that ip addr has nice color coding :-)

I suppose it would help if I knew what 'inet6  
2600:100e:b036:72f8:38ba:e736:ff86:ba23/64 scope global deprecated dynamic 
mngtmpaddr noprefixroute'

is telling me or, for that matter what ifconfig's entry means.

inet6 2600:100e:b036:72f8:38ba:e736:ff86:ba23  prefixlen 64  scopeid 
0x0<global>

I'm not a network admin and it's all noise to me. '-h' and '-p' are the 
same although 'j' does emit json.

It means that the IPv6 address (2600:100e...) of family inet6 (this is
IPv6, IPv4 uses inet) is assigned to that interface with address scope
global (address is globally unique, see IPv6 address scopes).

deprecated means that the address can still be used, but outgoing
connections will use a new one created by SLAAC.dynamic means the
address is created by SLAAC.

There are more addresses, please provide the complete output of the ip
command.

mngtmpaddr is about privacy extensions, see
https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/ip-address.8.html

noprefixroute means no route for the prefix will be created.

All of that is irrelevant for everyday use, just keep the default.

Not in the least. I was only pointing out that ip presents information 
I've never need up to this point in my life. 

I will admit I like 192.168.1.102 better than fe80::e8fa:7f5c:da23:aa05.
I suppose with enough fucking around I could get sftp to work with IPv6 on 
my LAN but I see absolutely no reason to.

You will never be forced to use IPv6 in your LAN. I have IPv6 in my LAN, 
but I don't have to use it.

It is different outside.

I bet you're already using it more than you think.

I am forced to still use IPv4. That's bad.

Same here.

My ISP started a Beta test, but I had to stop it. The router did not 
have a firewall for IPv6 or was disabled.

That's the fault of your Router. Get gear that is worth its money.

You forget that it is THEIR router, not mine. I can not just get a router.

Ouch. Please forgive my European-Centric View, where residential
customers HAVE to get the option to choose their own router.

In your case, you'd need your own ethernet-ethernet router with an
IPv6 firewall. It also needs to support IPv6 DHCP PD (and your ISP
needs to do that as well, which requires them to have a basic clue
about IPv6).

Greetings
Marc

It is European.

The configuration of the router is complex and not published, despite 
whatever EU regulations to the contrary.

Another layer of complexity.

You forget the context. It was a beta test of IPv6, so the hardware has 
to be the hardware supplied by the provider. I can not play at solving 
their failures by adding my hardware.

The beta failed. Their hardware failed. Period. No IPv6 to be deployed 
ISP wide.

Carlos is in Spain. 😑

Here in NZ, we have a decently competitive Internet provider market,
too, like you have in Germany.

In France we have a decently correct ISP market too. But it means we can
chose our ISP. Mostly the biggest ISP come with their router and we have
to use it. The possibility to choose one's ISP doesn't imply we can
choose our router.
