RE: What service is using a port? - Solved

["John M. Purser" <jmpurser@comcast.net>]

Thanks Nate.  fuser worked perfectly.

What it turned out to be was inetd watching the port so it could run samba
on demand.  Unfortunatly Samba was also in the run level scripts.  I
installed from the .deb using stable sources so I'm kind of puzzled about
how this happened and why it worked at first (with [smbd] plainly visible in
the output of ps aux) and then stopped.

Just very odd.

Thanks for the help.

fuser -n tcp 139

then run ps auxw | grep <pid> where <pid> is what fuser says is using
the port

if nothing shows up try netstat -an | grep 139

netstat -anp works well but I use fuser out of habbit
