on kikki.mit.edy, a 9.2.23 Sun box:
--> netstat -an
ip open: Permission denied
can't open mib stream: Bad file number
--> truss netstat -an
truss: cannot trace set-id or unreadable object file: /usr/bin/netstat
--> ls -l /usr/bin/netstat
-r-xr-sr-x 1 root adm 55184 Nov 9 2002 /usr/bin/netstat
--> tail /etc/athena/version
...

--> strings /usr/bin/netstat | grep /dev
/dev/ip
kstat_open(): can't open /dev/kstat
--> ls -l /devices/pseudo/ip@0:ip
crw-rw---- 1 root sys 3, 0 Jun 20 04:14 /devices/pseudo/ip@0:ip
--> ls -l /devices/pseudo/kstat@0:kstat
crw-rw-rw- 1 root adm 90, 0 Oct 3 2001 /devices/pseudo/kstat@0:kstat
So, either netstat is incorrectly in the adm group, or
/dev/ip is incorrectly in the sys group.
I've manually changed the group of netstat to sys, but this seems to
be a common bug because I've fixed the same issue on Heather Anne's
Solaris machines previously.
