Opening Ports

[MrClaw]

Here's the deal: Two servers, one development, one testing. A critical background process is down on the development server, and it's the culprit is some disobedient ports, 3 of them. The test server has the same process running, with the same ports as identified in not only the process configuration file, but also /etc/services.

Two things would be nice to know...

A) How to identify any other processes which may be using the ports.
B) How to get a listing of all ports (that's alot I know) and where they are being used.
C) How to open the ports. (8111, 5003, 5004)

The error message in the process log is "Connection refused to port blah blah blah".

Suggestions? What other aspects of the server configuration could affect this, or maybe it's a network architecture problem. Anyway, I'm stuck.

A: ps -ef |grep port
check man pages for ipcs and rpc info, perhaps they can help
B: search for lsof from your fav search engine. You might have to compile depending on what platform you are on.
C: dunno
