Followup-For: Bug #197282
Hi,
I'm amazed nobody replied to this bug for 3.5 years already!
I discovered myself the problem and I could get a behaviour closer
to the expectations by applying those changes:

- if (ad == INADDR_ANY) {
- if ((numeric & 0x0FFF) == 0) {
- if (numeric & 0x8000)
- safe_strncpy(name, "default", len);
- else
- safe_strncpy(name, "*", len);
- return (0);

}
- if (numeric & 0x0FFF) {
+ if (numeric & 0x0004) {
safe_strncpy(name, inet_ntoa(sin->sin_addr), len);
return (0);
}
At least when calling netstat --numeric-ports we now get
tcp 0 0 my.machine.com:139 *:*
LISTEN
and netstat --numeric-hosts:
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:imap2 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
But
- I don't know what is the supposed usage of "default" vs "*" for anycasts
- When I see how wrong the interpretation of the "numeric" flags
is in this part of the code I'm wondering for the whole stuff...
