I was doing my usual run through of checking to make sure there weren't
any unnecessary (or unauthorized) services/ports in use, and after
running nmap I found that port 859/tcp was open. Now, I have
iptables setup, so no inbound traffic is being allowed on that
port. But I'm curious as to what could be listening on that port.
I ran a netstat -pan, here's the relevant results:
tcp
0 0
127.0.0.1:859
0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN -
Several google searches didn't return much concerning that port, except
a tool called Amanda (which I did have at one time but unmerged
it). Any ideas? This server has a ssh, ftp, samba, apache,
and mysql server on it. It's also setup as a router, so I'm a
little paranoid about it's well-being.
