Question Unknown open port: "6881/tcp open bittorrent-tracker" found with nmap

Hi. I ran nmap on my server, and I get the following:

Code:
Starting Nmap 4.76 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2009-03-19 16:33 EDT
Interesting ports on -------- (-----):
Not shown: 997 closed ports
PORT     STATE SERVICE
22/tcp   open  ssh
80/tcp   open  http
6881/tcp open  bittorrent-tracker

The first two are as I want, but I am not running anything bittorrent related (at least I'm not intending to). What tool can I use to manage my open ports or see what processes are causing this?

I'm running Debian 2.6.18-6 (powerpc)

Thanks for any help!


-----


EDIT: Solved! I was running nmap on the router, not the server itself. Someone using a computer locally was running Bittorrent. Silly me.

NAME
Genlist - ping scanner SYNOPSIS
genlist [Input Type] [Scan Options] [General Options] DESCRIPTION
Genlist is a program that returns a list of hosts that responding to ping probes. Thus, this list can be used to perform an scan of these machines using PBNJ or Nmap. Apart of PBNJ 2.0 suite of tools to monitor changes on a network. OPTIONS
Usage: genlist [Input Type] [General Options] Input Type: -s --scan <target> Ping Target Range ex: 10.0.0.* Scan Options: -n --nmap <path> Path to Nmap executable --inter <interface> Perform scan using non default interface General Options: -v --version Display version -h --help Display this information Send Comments to Joshua D. Abraham ( jabra@ccs.neu.edu ) EXAMPLE OF GENLIST USED WITH PBNJ
$ ./genlist -s 10.0.0.* > iplist $ sudo ./scanpbnj -i iplist EXAMPLE OF GENLIST USED WITH NMAP
$ ./genlist -s 10.0.0.* > iplist $ sudo ./nmap -iL iplist INPUT TYPE
-s <target> Ping Target Range ex: 10.0.0.* The ping scan is a useful method of only scanning the host that are responding to ICMP echo requests. This scan basically takes the host that respond to ping and prints them. This is useful in combining the result with a PBNJ or Nmap scan because no time is wasted in scanning hosts that do not respond. SCAN OPTIONS
--interface <intface> This option sets an alternative interface for performing the scan. This is useful when you have multiple interfaces on a machine with restrictions on which devices can access certain IP ranges. -n --nmap <path> Use an alternative Nmap rather than Nmap located in the your path. This is useful if you have multiple version of Nmap installed on a system or if you are testing a new version of Nmap. Remember that if you are using a newly compiled version of Nmap that you need to export NMAPDIR to the location that Nmap was compiled in. Thus, if you have compiled Nmap in your homedir, use the following notation to run it with Genlist: $ export NMAPDIR=$HOME/nmap-VERSION/ $ sudo genlist -s 10.0.0.* --nmap $HOME/nmap-VERISON/ General Options: -v --version Prints the Genlist version number and exits. -h --help Display this information Prints a short help screen with the most common command flags. Running Genlist without any arguments does the same thing. FEATURE REQUESTS
