nning allows me to change the default log level back down to 'basic'. Setting it to 'expert' or 'guru' causes crashes if Kleopatra is running - so something is definitely amiss.

Ports being shown as open does not mean that your machine is listening, more like the firewall has some holes in it. If the firewall is not configured/running on your server itself, then you may be alright. Can you actually connect to your server using those ports? Have you tried telnet, or nc -v -z to see if they are open? If the above as well as lsof show nothing, can you nmap your machine from within the LAN that it is hosted in? HTH. -- Regards, Mick
