Re: FW: Connections to Port 5632

Welp, when I fire up PCA host in versions 8.x, 9.0, or 9.2, it opens as I
said.  Shutting down the host also shuts down the afore mentioned ports,
including port 22 udp/tcp.  Restarting the host again opens the same ports,
including 22.  Connecting to the host from remote indicates port 22 is
doing the handshake, and then pushing the session up to 5632.

Using TCPView is how I'm making this determination, and it's available at
www.sysinternals.com.

Regardless of what you're seeing, I can tell you with 100% accuracy that
what I've described is happening.  Perhaps asking Symantec would be in
order at this point?  All I know is what I'm seeing, and I'm seeing it on
both upgrades from earlier versions, as well as a clean install of 9.2 on a
bare OS that's never seen PCA.

Pretty interesting that my statical NAT for this works w/o 22. In fact
22/tcp is used for sshd elsewhere. So.. i cant see 22 in newer PCA!?
