didn't you get the memo? sun-1 is now a aynonym for wed. heh. i understand your commentary, now that i re-read my garblings. heh. -- DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #19 from Dave Sherohman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : How do you determine WHICH NETWORK SERVICES ARE OPEN (active)? Try "netstat -a | grep LISTEN". To see numeric values (instead of the common names for services using a particular port) then try "netstat -na" instead. For more info, look at "man netstat".
