I tried lsof -i now. Yes, it is very good. Useful to know the program
attached to port iinstead of checking a web site what protocol is
responsible for a certain port.

Also, several people suggested "netstat -a" for looking for open
ports on your local machine. netstat is OK but even better IMO is
"lsof -i" (may need root or kmem privs). It will give you much more
info such as which process owns the socket, what the file descriptor
is in that process, etc. And when you're developing, "lsof -p PID"
is invaluable. It will tell you all sockets, files, mmaps, dynamic
libraries loaded etc. Once you go lsof you never go back. :)
