Aahh! tcp. Of course. I'm still curious to find out more about what they are. I'll experiment.

A TCP listener is a process that accepts socket connection requests and
forks off dedicated sockets to complete the connections and allow
communication to proceed.  You can't have TCP/IP without one or more. The
presence of listeners, by itself, has no bearing on how secure the computer
is.
