Because you are a nice person, I guess. It is 11:30pm in here, and I happened to have a fairly bad day. I believe you just felt a little wave of it. If you can hold it, here is a little explanation/apology. This morning, a gang of about 10 people attacked me right outside of my home. I managed to escape, call the police and make my way to the office. Last week, at all far from home, a fellow has been killed by a similar gang. Probably the same gang that bothered me. So, back in the office, I find myself wandering about the meaning of life. I did not feel safe before, as we all know about this gang, the police does not help, and this all is stressing me a lot. But this is only on top of my deadlines at work. But why am I telling you this? Ah, the computer. So, I am back in the office, and checking mails etc. I do not remember the reason why I did it, but I nmapped the machine. We are security freek in here... The program reports an "unknown" service in a port. Red alert, once again. Then I check the port. I see pmud and gkrellm attached to it. I think it is the weather plugin. I remove the plugin, then nmap again. The service is still there!!! I do not remember of any "unknown" service in my machine, as we do take security seriously in here and I must know exactly what is given and why. Have a look at my Debian page for it. So, in "normal" conditions, I would have filed a report to debian-security, then track it down in fine detail and see if it is dangerous. But I am already on flames, also because I am very fond of pmud and gkrellm. I am upset OK? See you around... . Sergio
