Just out of the stuff that kills cats :) ...
Hey gang,
Just now, I ran a netstat (I do that often, is'nt paranoia cool? :) ... ) and this line showed up: Quote:
Anyone have an idea what was going on? Just to clarify, 139.168.1.4 is a wireless box on my network... By the way, I killed the process and nothing else died on me, so, that's a plus... Just being curious :) Thor |
Can you tell us what is this wireless box?
TCP 139 is part of samba i.e. SMB/CIFS windows printer and file sharing protocols. Port 139 is session service and basically establishes a connection between computers. Is samba running on this computer? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NetBIOS |
No samba I know of :s it's a vanilla Mint in the wireless and a Xubuntu on the main box, I have a VDSL modem (BBox2) that has wireless enabled. What does happen is that the loopback on the main box listens to the printerport of CUPS, so, no surprise there...
The wireless box is an Archos9 I use as media station (Internetradio, that's all it can handle) and a lookup for FB and webmail...no touch is enabled (did'nt get it to work ;) anyway) but that should not have an impact... Thanks for the input! Thor |
Yup, this piece of magick had samba running, just removed it, the box keeps running, and the "calls" stopped. What's with the printservice anyway? My last printout dates from two years ago....this is the 21st century, we're supposed to be paperless by now... :D
I'll mark this as solved, thanks michaelk! |
