I generally use mindterm to remotely log in from a windows machine to my FreeBSD machine, but when using a UNIX machine to ssh in directly I noticed that netstat said something was listening on port 6010 and sockstat said that something was sshd. This doesn't happen when mindterm is used. The only reference I could find to port 6010 in the mailing archives were a few people who guessed that it had to do with X Windows, but that's not correct because X isn't even installed on this FreeBSD box. -David To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
