[lug] what is gnutella-svc?

[Chip Atkinson]

Gnutella is the file sharing protocol that allows you to share files. 
You need to be running a gnutella program to allow uploads through that 
port so if you aren't running gnutella programs and you are getting 
traffic through that port, you should probably shut it down.  There is a 
program gnut, which I've been using and found quite nice.  Gnutella 
allows you to scour the net for music and other files.  It's a handy 
replacement for Napster.
