lsof will also provide you with information about open sockets:

$ lsof -i TCP:17500        
COMMAND PID    USER   FD   TYPE     DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
Dropbox 244 username  19u  IPv4 0x05584748      0t0  TCP *:17500 (LISTEN)

@kernel, is the File Descriptor number of the file. "u" means r+w access. man lsof :) – scetoaux Jun 20 '11 at 10:48

Netstat can provide you this information :

petrus@srv:~$ sudo netstat -taunp
Connexions Internet actives (serveurs et établies)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Adresse locale          Adresse distante        Etat        PID/Program name

If you are using *bsd system (I don't know if it exist for linux and other *nix), there is this socksat command, which does what you are looking for.
