Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Okay, Port 1548 was running the axon license manager {axon-lm}. When I ran sockstat I did not see any program that was using that port listed. Yet, nmap showed it was there. I nmap'd a few times and it remained. Out of fear that is was something bad, I rebooted. It has not shown up since, and I can't think of a program I ran then that I haven't run since. Could someone tell me what this program is supposed to do? What could have started it? And why it wasn't listed in sockstat? I have noticed that when I do an nslookup, and then an nmap 127.0.0.1 after I quit, I seem to get a random open port or two. Like the following. This does not happen every time but it happens enough that I think the open ports are connected to it. Is this normal? And could it have something to do with what I saw before? Note: These went away shortly, but the axon-lm stayed active till I shutdown. --- First time 2038/tcp open objectmanager --- Second time 1083/tcp open ansoft-lm-1 3455/tcp open prsvp Any advice you can give would be great, I am not a novice -- but I have no clue about this!
