[Q] IPtables, Port numbers.....

G'Day,

I have been looking at my firewall logs and was wondering what the best way
was to trace what had actually caused the entry. Naturally I can see the
source IP address but was wondering how I could associate the port
information with the process that generated it. Another way - How can you
determine the ports in use by a system? I have access to some of the source
machines and wanted to track the process that generated the packet(s).

TIA
