If a variable is used anywhere else in the config file, it will probably
have to be set.  I suspect that you needed $wired_addrs.  Your statement
is a bit too vague to allow anything else to be said about that matter.

That is the typical truncation thing that netstat does.  It also chops
the ip addresses.  If you want the full names and ip addresses, add the
'v' flag to your netstat line.
