Ok, I think I have it. Only services are associated with individual ports. (e.g. I connect with a web server on port 80, but it could use any port above 1024 to communicate back to my computer). In the instance in question, the traffic came from port 6000 of the "sending" computer, but this was not tied to any service. It was only the port which the sending application was using. It could have been port 10200 for that matter. Ok, I'm still learning.

Re: ATI Questions...again

By installing the livna packages (after uninstalling the ATI proprietary stuff) I have: /[nstickney@Elijah ~]$ fglrxinfo display: :0.0 screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.

Suspend and shutdown
by Uno Engborg 28 Feb '06

28 Feb '06

In FC5T3 all users have the menus "Shut down..." and "Suspend" in their Gnome "Desktop" menu, and if they select it the shutdown or suspend happens without asking the user for a root password. This is awful in multi user environments, or when remote desktops are used. Is there some easy way of turning this off? Is this the default Gnome 2.14 behavior? At the very least the user shoould be prompted for a root or even better a sudo password before he is allowed to do this. It also creates far too many menu items in the Desktop menu that are very similar. The old FC4 way of doing this was much better from a usability perspective. Regards Uno Engborg

entry on firewall log
by Don Bedsole 28 Feb '06

28 Feb '06

Hi all, I've noticed on my firewall log a couple of tcp connection attempts (from different IPs) with port 6000 as the source port on the remote host and port 7212 as the destination port on my box. Is there another application besides XWindows that uses port 6000 and that someone would be using to try to connect to me? I'm not concerned about, obviously my firewall is working. But I thought if I asked, I might learn something. Thank you. Also, a question about list etiquette. After someone answers your question, is it ok to post a thank you message? -- For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
