Do you believe that port 10000 is open? What happens if you telnet to
it? Do you get a connection?

No connection

Does netstat --listen show anything
listening on it?

If so you can run this command to see what is on that port:

/sbin/fuser -n tcp 10000

No one listening


Then kill the process or remote the server from the init scripts or
whatever.

I'd prefer to close the port and leave it closed until such time as I would need it.
Could you coach me through?

 As a last resort you can set up some iptables rules to block
access to that port and you can also block the ip/netblock of the nosey
network admins from talking to your computer. Of course I would only
recommend that if you are SURE you know what you are doing. :)

Thanks, Tracy
