No - it has already been shown. Your netstat output in previous mails shows: tcp 0 0 localhost:879 *:* LISTEN 273/pmud Which clearly shows that it is only listening on the localhost address, which is only accessable via the loopback interface (and hence _only from the localhost itself_). If you don't believe me, try connecting from a remote host to this port. > > I do not want my pmud to listen to tcp/ip requests. Is there any way > that I can disable this bug? Still I want to use gkrellm with pmud. If you want to use gkrellm with pmud and NOT use tcp/ip then you'd better get out your "How to program C" book and write a new system. The _only_ way the two applications communicate currently is via this tcp/ip connection. Chris
