mystery program


encountered this weird process that is showing up when I run netstat...
netstat -anep
Active Internet connections (servers and established)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State User Inode PID/Program name
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:16385 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 0 3076 -
so I run find -inum 3076 and four files show up
I end up rebooting then same tcp/port is listening but diffrent inode this time. I run find again and four different files show up this time. So I launch rkhunter and everything comes back clean. Now I'm wondering what this mysterious program is. Then I noticed another connection showing up as...
raw 0 0 0.0.0.0:1 0.0.0.0:* 7

but eventually went away. but the other one for port 16385 is still showing up.

Perhaps lsof -i is more successful in reporting the process.
I doubt that find can find sockets. What you found was files in different filesystems that happened to have the same inode number as the socket by accident.

It was just some stupid RDS protocol built into the kernel.
