Hi,

when I run "netstat -ap" on my system, I get the following output:

Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State       PID/Program name
[...]
tcp        0      0 localhost:6010          *:*                     LISTEN     19288/16
tcp6       0      0 ip6-localhost:6010      *:*                     LISTEN     19288/16

netstat displays "16" instead of a valid program name.  The program is
in fact sshd that opens a socket for X11 clients that should be
forwarded to the remote display.  "ps aux" gives the following output:

root     19288  0.0  0.1  6316  904 ?        Ss   Oct17   0:00 sshd: root@pts/16

So it seems that netstat is confused by the '/' in the sshd command
line.
