microsoft-ds, what is it and who is using it?
running iftop command sometimes I can see lines like this:
> mydomain.org:microsoft-ds
=> rrcs-24-199-42-186.west.biz.rr.com:privatechat
0B 0B 0B
what the hell is microsoft-ds?
my nmap says that this are the opened port.

@Nuvini:
That's port 445, Windows uses it for SMB (filesharing). Maybe you're using samba or something? Otherwise you should get that checked out
;)
samba is not installed on my linode.
what should I check out?
I'm quite worried about this.

You are sending no data - this is probably someone trying to connect and your server is ignoring it.

I like this hypothesis.
