Greetings,

I'm currently in the proccess of trying to lock down a FreeBSD workstation
as a firewall, and noticed that my FreeBSD machine is listening to port 
1024.  I'm fairly stumped as to what this might be..  According to the 
port number database (http://www.sockets.com/services.htm) 1024 is 
reserved.

Any thought as to what's listening to this port?  

Please CC: replies to me at joed@ksu.edu.

Thanks
