If your desktop is running a version of ubuntu, I think you will find that port 53 is open on address 127.0.1.1, not the more usual local loopback.
Er, um, and? I'm sorry I don't really understand what that's telling me.
Both 127.0.0.1 and 127.0.1.1 seem to have someone listening:-
root@chris:~# nmap localhostNot directly helpful, but it probably makes far better reading to use netstat -tapn on the machine instead of nmap. If you run it as root, you can see what process has bound to a given port, rather than using nmap which I think only tells you what the port means in /etc/services.
I *knew* there was a better way to see port information, I just couldn't remember what it was!
