[OLUG] Unknown Services

[W. Mark Hagler]

You can use the 'fuser' command to track it down.  There are several
uses for fuser.  The most common is to use fuser on a file to tell which
process ID's have a handle open to that file.

On Linux, fuser is also useful to look at socket usage.  Try running
this, as root:

fuser 1055/tcp

It should return a number, which is the pid of the process that is
listening there.  You can then use 'ps' to figure out exactly what it
is.
