Yo;
Me and my MDK 9.2 server are back... but it's not a tuffy on this string.
This evening I noticed a connection from the internet to port 32768 on my
server. What's this port used for? Can this be a security threat? I
tried google, but all I found was something about some trojan peeps think
they have running on that port :-S.
Thanx,

For there to be a connection on port 32768, something on your computer has to be listening on that port. The command
netstat -taup
will list connections, the processes attached to them, and the name of the remote process.

Hi,

You may also want to try lsof -i :portno to find out what is using the port

You can download and install it from
http://freshmeat.net/projects/lsof/

(install: untar, ./Configure linux , make etc.)

You get results as below:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] lsof_4.73_src]# ./lsof -i :32768
COMMAND  PID USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
xinetd  3086 root    5u  IPv4   6640       TCP localhost:32768 (LISTEN)
famd    4276 adil    0u  IPv4   6640       TCP localhost:32768 (LISTEN)
famd    4276 adil    1u  IPv4   6640       TCP localhost:32768 (LISTEN)
famd    4276 adil    2u  IPv4   6640       TCP localhost:32768 (LISTEN)
