Daemons are kinda a catch all name for "always on" maintenance processes that run in the background.

usually servers fall under this catagory. If you're familiar with *nix apps you'll see many processes named somethingd like httpd, crond, mysqld These are the server processes that monitor ports etc to look for incoming requests etc.

if each port is a different window on a building, imagine a daemon as the receptionist that jots down your information and processes your request to the appropriate people..

on most servers, port 80 houses the httpd daemon for the http service...it recieves your communique to that port and does what it's supposed to do- such as dish up some HTML or run a cgi script...

ftp is another daemon sitting on port 21 (mostly)...
