What is this thing? Listening on port 763.... I can't seem to find any information on it at all. Qu'est que c'est?

FAM (File Alteration Monitor) is using port 763, which is officially registered as being used by "cycleserv", but FAM is not cycleserv.

FAM is a daemon that checks for files that are being changed .. so instead of all your programs that need to look for changed files hitting your disk all the time, they just ask FAM if it changed.

Still searching...

Sounds harmless enough. Thanks QT!
