Security Incidents: Re: Port 17889 - new attack?

["Christian Sarmoria" <cgsarmor () ecs syr edu>]

Could be Netlet, on its default configuration, since Netlet server listens
on ports 9877 and 9878, and connects to ports 17888 and 17889 on the
intranet server 'intra-serv', respectively.

Although it could be something else out there connecting to your machine on
port 17889, you can take a look at Netlet (iPlanet Portal Server too) at:
http://docs.iplanet.com/docs/manuals/portal/30/ag/netlet.htm
It's quite long, but do a 'find' for '17889' in the loaded web page to go to
the relevant part of the document.
Good luck.

Christian.
