[wplug] netstat and a worrying connection

[Terence J. Golightly]

Greetings group,

below is output from netstat.

<I Like Scripting>netstat -tpe

I am sitting on a web page that has a digg icon on it.  However, I
noticed it before I shutdown my network connection (clearing a whole lot
of connections.  The Digg one got my attention.  This doesn't appear to
be normal? Can someone help me out here?  I'm I not correct in assuming
that root shouldn't be associated with a conneciton period?
Additionaly how might I end connections w/o taking down my network
connection?  I will be googling, but thought one of you security experts
out there might have an succinct and to the point answer.  Oh the other
connections, I use vuze formerly (azureus). I made sure I stopped all
seeding/downloading before exiting it.

Tia,

terry
