What is tcp port 8007?

every 2-3 seconds).
Jun 27 18:30:51 iago tcplogd: port 8007 connection attempt from localhost
[127.0.0.1]
This isn't a port listed in /etc/services, and I can't decide whether it's
really doing anything. How can I find out what the contents of this packet
are?

Hi Derek!
I just did a quick scan of assigned ports and according to IANNA (
http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers) this port is
"un-assigned". I guess that means that no "official" service uses this
port. I also scanned the "trogan" database, and no known trogan uses
this port. I DID find that Wingate will use 8010, which is close but
not it.
This obviously is coming from your machine, so I would also suspect that
one of your installed programs is using this "free" port for internal
networking purposes. I can't tell you which one, though...never seen it
here.

Thanks. My guess is that it's something on my Oracle database - but the
Oracle documentation sucks... I can't decide if it's actually working
properly or not, though.

Looking at the port listing I have, port 8008 is a tcp/udp http
alternate port. Although based on the listing, this may have no bearing
on what port 8007 actually is.

I know of no application (and can't find any others) that appear to use this
port normally. It seems to also be the 3rd line suggested httpd port, so if
your Oracle is setup to run web based, this may be what the query is for.

Dunno how Oracle is installed, but if you can temporarily shut it down
(/etc/init.d/oracle stop maybe??) or better yet prevent it from being
started and see if the connect requests go away, that would confirm your
supspicions...

That's what it is then. My Oracle installation (which uses Apache for the
web server) has about 14 of these jserv processes running - which explains
why it feels the need to try to connect on that port so often :-) I didn't
see anything in the httpd.conf file though that indicated it was using that
port, so I wasn't sure.
Since this is only a two-computer development network, there really
can't be any need for so many jserv processes (and I'm not doing jserv
development anyway!), so I'll have to see if I can configure them out of
existence.
Thanks a lot!
Derek Broughton
Yep. Commented out jserv.conf at the bottom of the httpd.conf file and it
all went away, Thanks
