Hi David I might be misunderstanding your explanation but using Process Explorer if I connect to gmail imap service and then issue a ? LOGOUT the imap session quits the sporned ncat process exits but the controlling ncat instance still shows a thread open but Non-existant. A bit more digging and I think it is actual a handle to the cmd.exe that gets run presumably by windows to execute the additional ncat process. Thread showing in parent ncat process while still connected to remote gmail server cmd.exe(3164): 1516 Thread showing in parent ncat process once gmail connection is cleanly logged out. <Non-existent Process>(3164): 1516 Apologies if I'm getting my thread and handles mixed up JonnyG _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/
