>Description:
	When security.bsd.see_other_uids=0, systat -net displays all
network connections.  Not just those of the UID running systat.
>How-To-Repeat:
Set security.bsd.see_other_uids=0
As non-root user, run systat -net and view all sockets. Compare this
with netstat as the same user.
>Fix:
Unknown.... Sorry.
