Hello All,


When looking at the ports used by the system I noticed port 6000 is already in use before starting the swift services.

In the swift object-server.conf file the default port setting is 6000 to, so yes when starting the swift object server there is an error message in the corresponding log file and the object-service is put in a maintenance state.

How do I find out which other unix process is using this 6000 port, it seems that 6001 is in the range (6000-6007) commonly used by x11. Why did the swift openstack folks pick the same port range for their storage services processes?
To followup on the last q, port 6000 is used by X11 if you enable tcp listening option ( part of startx or in gdm config file) This is considered a non secure situation and not recommended, but it leaves the risk of swift using a same port as x11 if an admin chooses to use the tcp listen option for remote X11 connections (vnc)
