Hi Everybody,

I´ve noticed some strange connections on my SuSE Linux9.0 Professional and hope that someone can give me some advice what that is about.

...

And to answer the question what listens on my Port 443, it is an apache2 2.0.53 BUT what I want to know is what kind of process continues to access my apache from the local host via the Interface " lo ".

Simple. It's HTTP over SSL.

(From http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers): # Bill Davidson https 443/tcp http protocol over TLS/SSL https 443/udp http protocol over TLS/SSL

I know what kind of service listens on Port 443, my Problem is that there is a Connection from my Linux to my Linux Port 443 ( interface "lo" but not from 127.0.0.1 to 127.0.0.1 but from 111.222.333.444 ( official external IP ) to 111.222.333.444 ALTHOUGH I´m not using any kind of software to browse my own server from my own server. Don´t know how to tell exactly in english it is not a workstation that all happens on but a server without X or something like that. I want to know wich Software initiates these Connects, cause I´m not issuing it because it also happens when nobody is logged in. It is definetely not a Konqueror Session via X or something like that ... I thougt of a service check script within webmin or something like that but although I stopped webmin these connections are still there. Any more ideas? Regards Tom
