try

	root# lsof -i | grep LISTEN

see http://packages.debian.org/lsof for details.

serendipity strikes again (this is getting spooky) check out the sig:

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #19 from Dave Sherohman <esper@sherohman.org> 
:
How do you determine WHICH NETWORK SERVICES ARE OPEN (active)?
Try "netstat -a | grep LISTEN". To see numeric values (instead
of the common names for services using a particular port) then
try "netstat -na" instead. For more info, look at "man netstat".
   Also try "lsof -i" as root. "man lsof" for details.
