Hi,

what does the *:* in the LOCAL ADDRESS column stand for?

sockstat -4l

USER     COMMAND    PID   FD  PROTO  LOCAL ADDRESS         FOREIGN 
ADDRESS
markus   soffice.bi 84571 9   tcp4   *:*                   *:*
root     wpa_suppli 49000 3   udp4   *:*                   *:*
other lines deleted

This can't mean listening on all ports on all interfaces, can it?

The system runs just fine.

The question is a bit hard to goole with the two asterisks :(

Best regards

Markus
