I have had a similar problem from time to time, and with X processes that I fire up using X forwarding in SSH. I occasionally have to go in and delete the x ports that get blocked by my firewall rules. I do not know what is going on with Mark's users, but my excess ports are related to X, or ssh and I would like to know how to get rid of the unconnected ports without manual intervention. dlg _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
