security and ports



My computer is listening to ports 1024, 1256, and 1486. These ports aren't
listed in /etc/services. What are they for and can (should) I block them?

Thanks,

Ben

Modern computerized word processing enables us, both as individuals and as a
cohesive societal entity, to exponentially enhance and aggrandize the 
parameters, both qualitative and quantitative, not to mention paradigmatic, of 
out communicative conceptualizations because now we can spell great big words
correctly without having a clue what they mean.  -- Dave Barry
