I am using "lsof -i:<Port Number>" & "netstat -anp| grep <port number>" commands to check
the free ports available on my Linux(redhat) machine.
But the problem with above commands is that, it wont show the process details of a particular port
if it is running from an user account which is different with which i logged in.
Do we have any command or work around by which we can check whether a port is owned by any process (or any other user account )
even if we dont have root access.
I mean without being root does this mean that i cannot locate the process running on particular port if it is owned by differnt user id with which i logged in ?
