Maybe so. But do I _want_ do run that software? No. Anyway, I am not sure which programs that would be. The applications with open sockets on my laptop are currently: cupsd dhclient emacs gpsd gvfsd-http inetd mysqld named netserver ntpd rpcbind rpc.statd (squid) ssh sshd This is of course not a complete list of all applications I need to verify. I should add a number of client applications not currently running, and inetd may fire up proftpd and atftpd when necessary. But FWIW the only suspicious application I can see on that initial list is gvfsd-http. I don't know anything about the programmers behind that. I am pretty sure the people behind the rest of the software are capable of setting up a test network. Bjørn
