 Eeek!!

 Just fooling around with some software on my laptop, I found that my Gentoo
 desktop has an even dozen open inet ports with something listening to them,
 in addition to the ones I would expect (25, 80 and so on).
 They are all in the range 32768-6.

 Netstat agrees that they're open but does not disclose which process is
 listening.

 Does anybody know how to find this out?


I should add that they all disappear when I log off, and are not seen when I
log in as root, nor when I log in remotely.  These could
(I hope so) be things that KDE is starting, but it seems like an awful lot
of listening ports.  I have about 125 processes just for starting KDE, few
of which I understand, so I could use some help narrowing this down.
