I've been searching the mail archives for some clues as to the purpose of these dynamically generated 5 digit open ports. Maybe I'm using the wrong search terms but haven't been able to find a hint.
My client's client wants them closed for security purposes. My client has been unable to find them in the code or documentation and I gather they've spent some time looking. Since it my client's OFbiz code base has been heavy modified, I just ran OFbiz version 10.04.06 and I just get tcp6 0 0 127.0.0.1:53161 :::* LISTEN 1000 21364148 11015/java tcp6 0 0 127.0.0.1:34898 127.0.0.1:39096 ESTABLISHED 1000 22201512 13441/java tcp6 0 0 127.0.0.1:39096 127.0.0.1:34898 ESTABLISHED 1000 22197002 11015/java tcp6 0 0 127.0.0.1:58250 127.0.0.1:3306 ESTABLISHED 1000 22225165 13456/java tcp6 0 0 127.0.0.1:58251 127.0.0.1:3306 ESTABLISHED 1000 22223602 13456/java tcp6 0 0 127.0.0.1:58246 127.0.0.1:3306 ESTABLISHED 1000 22205538 13456/java tcp6 0 0 127.0.0.1:58253 127.0.0.1:3306 ESTABLISHED 1000 22225166 13456/java tcp6 0 0 127.0.0.1:58252 127.0.0.1:3306 ESTABLISHED 1000 22223603 13456/java The list is similar in that most foreign addresses are the database server. Does anyone know where I can find the code that opens them and more importantly what effect closing them might have on OFbiz functionality?
