 Replying to [comment:10 atagar]:
 > The local address looks fine, but the remote is **2001:858:2:2:aabb** on
 port 44811. Am I missing something or it that missing quite a few digits?

 You are missing that netstat is a butt-ugly shitty fossil. Seriously, just
 look at the code if you dare.

 And yes it's missing digits. This is because netstat cannot into variable-
 length columns: it truncates ip:port to 22 chars (actually it truncates
 "ip" then appends ":port"). *facepalm*

 For quite a while Debian carried a patch that added option "-W|--wide"
 (off by default) that prevented the truncation. I believe it was merged
 upstream at some point. Not sure what the situation was/is on Gentoo;
 maybe toralf just needs to add "-W" to his command line.
