Eh how annoying. Well you could add root permissions to other users and then you should be able to close the port.

Ah, is that what that link was about?

Exactly :)

Okay, I’ll take a closer look and let you know how I get on.

Thanks for your help.

@sylwia - That link seemed to be about file permissions rather than process permissions.

See my reply to Mateusz where I use the insight provided and find my solution,
