iiimsf What is it?

[269Shelby]

I've just done an nmap scan on my machine and one of the entries is:

50000/tcp open iiimsf

I've searched Google but cannot find any info that I can understand as to what it is/does. Can anyone enlighten me about what this is and also do I need it and how to uninstall it if not needed. I understand that the "do I need it" may well depend on what I've got installed and may not be easy to answer. My main concern is that I have not seen this before and have no idea as to what it is or what it's doing.

Thanks

Thanks for your reply, unfortunately I have to admit that I'm none the wiser. Searching Google made me none the wiser either. Could you explain what it actually does and whether I might need it. I have no idea what I installed to produce that output.

Thanks

Okay I know this is a long time after the last post but should anyone else, like me come here looking for this sort of thing here is a way of finding out a little more:

I ran wireshark filtering for port 50000 and ran the nmap scanned again.
This helped me pinpoint the app to be the db2exc which installs a db2 server.
