Well..........


    All I can say is...... It is for OLUG staff to know and you to wonder...
I should deactivate you account for misconduct, but I will simply give you a
public hand slap. port scanning and other "can be perceived as devious"
activity is not allowed on the olug shell server. Please do not make me push
the issue any further than this email, port scanning ( even if is your own
machine ) will not be tolerated.

even scan itself and it can't find anything.  I have done lsof and netstats
to no avail.  If I scan news.com or yahoo.com it says 21 is open there too.
I find it hard to beleive that they would be running telnet servers.  The
next hope in a netstat is some kind of a firewall box.  I am curious if it
is intercepting my port 21 requests and dropping them or something.  Anyway
just curious.  If you want to check me for an ftp port my address is
thechunk.dyn.dhs.org.

Everything I scan with it reports that port 21 is open.  Any idea why it
would say that?  It seems very strange to me.
