Description Poul-Henning Kamp 2001-03-11 22:40:01 UTC 
Portnumbers may get truncated, which can confuse the heck out of
people.

Example where "1141" gets truncated to "114"

femmer:/home/jail/nsx/etc/namedb# sockstat | grep 212.242.86.173
bind     named     1103    3 udp4   212.242.86.173:114    *:*

The problem is that sockstat(1) uses 'netstat -Aan', which truncates
port numbers to restrict the source and destination address to 19
characters each (15 for dotted quad + 1 for colon leave only 3 for
port number). Unfortunately, there's no way to join the information
from 'netstat -an' with that from 'netstat -Aan' (no common key), so
this will remain a problem until an option is added to netstat(1) to
*not* truncate even if this causes individual lines to exceed 80
characters.

Well, then netstat -Aan should be fixed :-)

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
