Description of problem:
when using netstat with the --numeric-ports the output also has
numeric hostnames which it explicitly says in the man page it should
not do.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. type netstat -l --numeric-ports
2. compare with output of netstat -l
3. read man page
    

Actual Results:  $ netstat -l --numeric-ports
