      Description

        Java doc says:

        "If there is a security manager set, its checkConnect method is called with the local address and -1 as its arguments to see if the operation is allowed. If the operation is not allowed, an InetAddress representing the loopback address is returned as the implementation address."

        However, SecurityManager::checkConnect is never called when ServerSocket::toString() is used.

        ServerSocket::toString() just checks if a security manager is set and if yes it returns loopback address.

        E.g code to reproduce:

              ServerSocket serverSocket = new ServerSocket(0);
              System.setSecurityManager(new SecurityManager(){
                    @Override
                    public void checkConnect(String host, int port) {
                        System.out.println("This is never printed");
                    }
                });
                serverSocket.toString();
