I've got a MediaTemple DV server. I've been seeing a lot of QOS alerts for "numothersock" which is defined as:

The number of sockets other than TCP ones. Local (UNIX-domain) sockets are used for communications inside the system. UDP sockets are used, for example, for Domain Name Service (DNS) queries. UDP and other sockets may also be used in some very specialized applications (SNMP agents and others).

How can I determine what application/daemon/etc is creating these sockets? The limit is 300 and we're hitting that several times a day recently.

Thanks in advance.

netstat -a shows'em all. Or you can study its manual page to filter out only those types of connections you're interested in.

Thanks guys! Appreciate it! In my case, it was BIND. I don't even need it running. Thanks a ton! – Encoderer Jul 16 '11 at 18:36
