Did not receive the answer from the list, but did some
        more digging and found out the java programs belonged
        to WBEM (Web-Based Enterprise Management) system.
        You can get rid of the by disabling S90wbem in 
        /etc/init.d/rcX.d/.
        
        Original question follows:
        ...
        I have a fresh x86 Solaris8 install which I am stripping
        down to secure it. There are two weird tcp ports answering
        on the host and I cant seem to figure out what they are.
        5987    open        tcp       unknown
        32768   open        tcp       unknown
        Lsof says they are java programs. I have allready removed
        everything which starts any java from /etc/rcX.d/ but they
        still appear after rebooting.
        Any idea what answers in these ports and where are these
        programs started at bootup time?
