Last time I did

user@host$ netstat --ip

I noticed a lot of (more than 100) incoming STABLISHED connections to my 1025 tcp port, and it wasn't listed in /etc/services. I become alert. Searching in IANA I found only "blackjack" as related to that port, and I had no service in my machine related to that. I become paranoid. Using

user@host$ lsof -i TCP:1025

I detected the program that was really using that port, so I started searching the web about fam and I found you.

So I want to ask you a few questions.

- Is normal to have so much connections to my famd server? (I've no NFS server at all)

- Is impossible to make fam obey -L when launched from inetd?

- Can you register the fam port in IANA? You gave me a good scare.

Thanks

Noel Torres
