I can see in an xfce4 panel plugin that there is constantly a small
amount of incoming/outgoing traffic to/from the affected system when
there is no reason I know of for it.  netstat doesn't show anything
that jumps out at me although this is the first time I've really used
it.  All of the current netstat connections appear to be UNIX as
opposed to Internet.  Should I paste them in?
