This happens with ANY host I choose (including localhost). I get a “port-bynum mismatch” Warning that my <PORT NUMBER> != 0 What the heck is this all about? And, why does it say “spr-itunes” for all port types, including 80,22,21? I searched Webpin for other netcats, i only found the bsd one. Too lazy to bother installing for such an old (stable?) software that should be working already.
Any ideas what might be going on? I have SmoothWall as my gateway/firewall, if that helps…
