It's not capable of knowing about any access from any process it cannot
read /proc/<pid>/fd  It is not tcp or socket specific.

# fuser /var/log/syslog
/var/log/syslog:      4245
# exit
$ fuser /var/log/syslog
$

Now, the problem here is that if it knew a process had access, then it
could print it. But if it cannot know that, it cannot know it missed it.

However a note in the man page would probably help.
