what is port 5306 used for? i have done some searches in google and only found sun-mc-grp as a description of this port! i did see something about tcp-udp being associated with this port but im still unsure of what it does and if it has to be open or not. any additional info on this issue would be greatly appreciated!


Thx

Assuming your have lsof on the box try:

lsof -i tcp:5306

if it's a tcp port or

lsof -i udp:5306

if it's a udp prot.

That will give you the process name/id of the process that has that port open.
