Hi, can somebody tell me what this fragment of netstat output means:
unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 9621 3240/ssh-agent /tmp/ssh-gsdczz3200 /agent.3200I understand that the ssh-agent "provides a secure way of storing the passphrase of the private key". However, elsewhere I've seen that the name in the file path - agent.3200 - is a Win32 Trojan (there used to be a Windows OS installed on the machine before I installed Ubuntu)! I've inspected the file in question but can gather nothing from doing so. Although, it's unlikely to be anything malicious, I just need peace of mind!
TIA.
