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.

SYNOPSIS

       nmapfe [ any Glib options such as --display ]

DESCRIPTION

       Nmapfe  (also known as xnmap) is a convenient X Window front end for the Nmap Security Scanner.	Most of the options correspond directly to
       Nmap options, which are described in detail in the Nmap man page.  We recommend you read that first.  There is also limited help  available
       via the NmapFE "Help" menu.

       NmapFE was originally written by Zach Smith <key@aye.net>

       It is now maintained by Fyodor <fyodor@insecure.org>
