I did indeed mean "the". I type a lot and tend to get lazy when chatting 
and writing email.

As for checking your process list, you can use things like "System 
Monitor" or just start a terminal and do "ps -A". The best way to figure 
out what is supposed to be running on a hoary system is to do take 
inventory before the machine is ever connected to the network.


Here is my process list (pretty sure my machine is clean):

Obviously I do a little more than the average joe with my machine. But 
things to look at are, nfsd, apache, smbd, nmbd, sshd, ftpd. If you 
havent installed those but yet they are running, something might be wrong.



You can also do an nmap scan on your machine:

mpatterson at mattrp:~ $ nmap localhost

Starting nmap 3.75 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2005-08-08 17:53 EDT
Interesting ports on localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1):
(The 1652 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed)
PORT      STATE SERVICE
22/tcp    open  ssh
25/tcp    open  smtp
80/tcp    open  http
111/tcp   open  rpcbind
139/tcp   open  netbios-ssn
445/tcp   open  microsoft-ds
631/tcp   open  ipp
700/tcp   open  unknown
953/tcp   open  rndc
2049/tcp  open  nfs
10000/tcp open  snet-sensor-mgmt

Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.228 seconds

I can account for every port that is open on my machine, so I feel 
reasonably safe.
