whats bootpc? (solved)

[brianahr]

I recently noticed this on my box, and dont know what it is. My guess is something to do with dhcp? Do I need to be concerned about this? Thanks.

bootpc is simply the bootp client. Here's a simple explanation of bootp.

In this case, take that with a grain of salt. All netstat is doing is doing a lookup of a port # in /etc/services.

Try a netstat -anp, which will show you the port # [68] and the real process holding the port open.
