Hello,
I have to install iplanet messaging server 5.0 on an Sun Ultra-5 running Solaris 8.0. I did, it gave errors and I started the uninstallation proces. This gave me errors too and now port 389 (=LDAP-port) has the status LISTEN. But I can't find a proces that uses it (ps -ef | grep ...). I would like to unbind/free/liberate that port to be able to use it again.
Any suggestions?

Errrrr,
I found it. A plain reboot solved it. :-)

Paul, "ps -ef | grep 389" will not find the process that has attached the port unless it happens to have 389 in the process command line. Instead, try

netstat -a | grep 389
