Standard port for the SUN Management Console server.

Indeed.  Point your web browser at: http://server.name:898 
to confirm this.


Ok, What's happening?, I am very confused, the inode
number fsol show points to a direcroty and a character
device. How can i stop
 that listening binary?

this is a service that should be started by smcboot check your /etc/rc#.d/
directory (which ever runlvl you are in).

of course if this is not a sun box then this is a little odd indeed...
again not an expert with sun but this looks like a normal sun service.

If you want to remove the packages associated with this, they can be
found with the command: pkginfo | grep 'Management Console'

The run control script on a default Solaris install is named init.wbem
(It starts in runlevel2 with the linked script: /etc/rc2.d/S90wbem)
if you just want to turn off the service.
