Hi Anthony,

Poking around the web, I found out port 2766 is typically part of an sscan,
as reported by CERT, here:

http://www.cert.org/incident_notes/IN-99-01.html

That doc reports port 2766 tcp is "Solaris listen/nlps_server."


As to the vulnerability, I'm not sure.



a buffer overflow in  nlps_server is present at least up to version 2.5.1 of
Solaris,
this is more than a year old and i stumbled accross an exploit for Solaris x86
many
months ago, i have no idea if its reported, i just did a quick search on
securityfocus, sunsolve,
and other places an didnt find any references to nlps_server/listen except for
a y2k patch.
