Hi, I noticed that problem as well and I think it's a bug. The fields 'sin6_scope_id' and 'sin6_flowinfo' of the sockaddr_in6 structure are not initialized (e.g. for remaddr in netstat.c:tcp_do_one()). Therefore getnameinfo() returns '<address>%<scope>' with an arbitrary <scope> for addresses that can't be resolved.
I suggest to apply the attached patch against net-tools-1.60/lib/inet6.c to fix the problem. Marco -- OpenPGP Key ID: 0x62937F7F
