what's using port 5353?

[Wiles]

I noticed that something is using port 5353 to send outgoing packets. (searching on the internet I've seen that this is normally an ITunes port, but I don't have ITunes...) How can I find out what program is using that port and turn it off?

Before switching it off, check this...

lsof should be able to help. Try this:

lsof -i :5353

[root@Tangled-Web ~]# lsof -i :5353
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
avahi-dae 2499 avahi 13u IPv4 9414 UDP *:mdns
avahi-dae 2499 avahi 14u IPv6 9415 UDP *:mdns

Well! I'll be dipped! Learn something new every day! Thanks, giulix and simawt!
