On that note, I think it might be time to reiterate for anyone on this
list who is new to Unix administration that lsof is about the most
massively useful (to borrow a massively useful phrase from Douglas Adams)
third party utility available to the sysadmin.

If you haven't got it, get it.  If you've got, use it.  Often.
