Depends on what you mean by "open". To find out what services are actually *listening* on a system, "netstat -l" (that's lower-case L) will list them by port. If you mean is the router firewalling the port, then you need to inspect the output of "ipchains -nvL" to see what is being DENYd or REJECTed. More usefully, if your site is NAT'd, check your port-forwarding rules for something that forwards 1214 to an internal system. To "turn it off" via the firewall, add a rule that DENYs incoming traffic to, or outgoing traffic from, the problem port. To turn it off wherever it is running, terminate the app that is listening on the port (or modify inetd.conf if it is a service that runs through inetd - improbable in this example). >It is supposed to be something called "Morpheus" or something like >that which allows MP3 sharing, but I have nothing like that running >on any of my machines. For intro-level info on Morpheus, go to http://www.musiccity.com/ and look at the FAQ. It appears to be Windows only, so you might ask anyone who has a Windows workstation behind your router if he or she knows what's going on. A bit more technical information is here http://www.openp2p.com/lpt/a/p2p/2001/07/02/morpheus.html and it confirms the association with port 1214. As I read this, you would have to be (a) running a "SuperNode" (Morpheus-speak for a directory server with a published address) -AND- (b) port-forwarding port 1214 to it via the router. I can imagine the first happening without your knowing, but the second is improbable. -- ------------------------------------"Never tell me the odds!"--- Ray Olszewski -- Han Solo Palo Alto, CA [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
