Very Computer

Hi!

I have a Suse Linux 7.0 on a K6 350MHz

Although nothing seems to be run in rc.d nor in inetd, my port 873 is
open.How can I know what it is, and how can I kill the service?

I checked in /etc/services, but the executables of rsync are no on my
system

Please help!

greetings...

If you have a open 873 port, then you must have the rsync daemon running
somewhere on your system, because port 873 is used for rsync operations.
There should be a file somewhere on your system like /etc/inetd.conf or
somewhere in the /etc/xinetd.d directory where the rsync line will appear.

The daemon should be running somewhere.  A connection to the localport should
be able to tell you whether or not it is running.

telnet localhost 873

See ya
