UDP socket being listened on.

[Rudi Heitbaum]

I have a UDP socket listening on my machine, here is the lsof/netstat 
output. I was just wondering if anyone knows why this UDP socket is 
listening.

# lsof -i UDP

COMMAND   PID USER   FD   TYPE     DEVICE SIZE/OFF INODE NAME 
smbd    18820 root    4u  inet 0x03a88018      0t0   UDP localhost:1799 

# netstat -a -u 

Active Internet connections (including servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State
udp        0      0 localhost:1799          *:*  

Regards

Rudi
