dnsmask listening on strange ports
Why is dnsmask listening on so many ports? how can I disable them (especially those high ports)?
Also why does it listen on TCP at all?
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name

Re: dnsmask listening on strange ports
About listening on tcp port, I got this info http://www.digitalpoint.com/lists/19817.html
Or the long version here (that I didn't read completely) http://linuxgazette.net/issue50/tag/1.html , maybe the answer to your other question is here too.

It's only listening on port 53, hence the "listen" flag.
