Wireshark is exactly the tool for this; what exactly restricts you from using it or tcpdump?

Which interface are you listening on? Is it the correct interface for that IP address?

Won't help - still needs to restore permissions and finding out which files should have been readable by all and which shouldn't will be a copper-plated bitch. He'd almost be better off backing up user data, reinstalling from scratch, and replacing the data with assumed-safe permissions.

comment A service is failing to start on permissions denied--which files is it failing on?
If you created the service, why not install a debug version that does some more explicit error catching and tells you which files it tries to open at every step? The -vvv flag was invented for a reason. :)

Because sudo clears any and all environment variables not explicitly whitelisted. Basic security.

@ChrisDown Yes, size matching would be one of the shortcuts I had in mind.

comment Howto find duplicate files on disk
Note that any possible method of doing this will invariably have to compare every single file on your system to every single other file. So this is going to take a long time, even when taking shortcuts.

comment is upstart and supervisord used for the same thing?
I'd note that the proper solution to a service that doesn't properly daemonizes would be to fix the bug with said service that cause it to not daemonize properly. I'll grant that something like supervisord would be useful for #2, though.

Also, isn't Lenny approaching end-of-life? Squeeze has been out for ages and Debian is currently in freeze mode to work on the next major release...
