Hello,
Running netstat -a on my system (2.0) shows:
# netstat -a
Active Internet connections (including servers)

I was wondering what bootpc,bootps and port 65534 are for, and how I
can disable them or at least find out what's causing them?
I'm not running any processes that I can link to bootpc, bootps ('ps
-ax | grep boot' is blank).
/etc/services doesn't have an entry for 65534.
Thanks for any light you can shed on this,
Amadeus
