Port 199 SMUX, what is it?
when I run a nmap localhost I see that port 199 is open for the smux service.
smux is not present at any runlevel…
the strange things is that it seems that this port has been opened by some service
I use since I never opened it and some months ago with the same server configuration
I haven't got it opened.
I'm thinking that some service opened it after some updates,
any idea?

(/etc/services says it's an SNMP port)
@sweh:
As root, "netstat -anp | grep -w 199" - should tell you what program is listening
(/etc/services says it's an SNMP port)
thanks for the answer.
that command output this:
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:199 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 2049/snmpd
thanks.
@sweh:
So process PID 2049 (name "snmpd") is listening on port 199.
It's only when it starts talking back that you need to worry.

I disabled it so problem solved
after reenabling it the cacti "restarted" working ok but now the graph relative to
"Disk IO Bytes" shows a plain line, no error on graph but it does not log the activity of the disk.
Any idea? Stopping a service and than renabling it should not broke any configuration in cacti.
Thanks,
