Whats funny is.... the "Secure Port Server" used to be called "Server Administrator" which made sense, and you would know what that meant!
Then, Dell changed the "Server Administrator" program and now calls it "Dell OpenManage" which is nuts.... because OM is a suite of products. At the same time, they made the change to "Secure Port Server" and of course, didnt document this clearly.... so it left me with the same questions as you had.
Dell should brand ALL their 3rd part services with the name "Dell" in front, much like HP/Compaq has/does. This would keep them all together in the services list and at least let their customers know what the heck these things are...... for those of us who care.
