Are you guys aware of a perl bug in 'sockstat' in 4.8? It appears when you have 'kern.ps_showallprocs=0' set..
when a user uses 'sockstat' it spits out..
-------------
cas:~$ sockstat
USER COMMAND PID FD PROTO LOCAL ADDRESS FOREIGN ADDRESS
cas sshd 2664 4 tcp4 ip#hidden:22 ip#hidden:1977
USER COMMAND PID FD PROTO LOCAL ADDRESS FOREIGN ADDRESS
USER COMMAND PID FD PROTO ADDRESS
Use of uninitialized value in printf at /usr/bin/sockstat line 141.
cas sshd 2664 3 stream
cas sshd 2664 7 stream /tmp/ssh-T72DDMfh/agent.2664
-------------
it can be fixed by changing line 143 of '/usr/src/usr.bin/sockstat/sockstat.pl'..
- $nsd->[8] || ($fsd->[8] ? $endpoint{$fsd->[8]} : "(none)"));
+ $nsd->[8] || ($fsd->[8] && $endpoint{$fsd->[8]} ? $endpoint{$fsd->[8]} : "(none)"));
