I'm curious.. I don't remember running any programs to open that port and I've never heard of molly? I used nmap and returned the following. Interesting ports on localhost.localnet (127.0.0.1): Port State Protocol Service 21 open tcp ftp 22 open tcp ssh 25 open tcp smtp 80 open tcp http 98 open tcp linuxconf 113 open tcp auth 139 open tcp netbios-ssn 901 open tcp unknown 1374 open tcp molly although I did run cvs, would that open that port? does anyone have any ideas? thanks in advance.
