And synaptic knowing about tntnet was somewhat reassuring, because it does indicate a high probability that it was installed by someone with admin-level priviledges. Bad if it wasn't you, of course, but not bad if you're sure no one not you has been logging in as you.

Did you check what it was serving?

I did not. Should have ;)

Unless you've already removed it, you can still check the configuration file, find the files/apps it was serving, and get a good guess at the contents, enough to decide whether you want to start the server back up to look. Or whether you might want to take other measures to make sure that your box is not under control of some unauthorized 3rd party.

Not to be obnoxious, but a little paranoia is healthy.

Educational, too. Your posts have gotten me digging around the tntnet docs, and I'm thinking of playing around with it sometime soon. Serving compiled C programs has certain uses.
