[cobalt-security] Help with open ports



Hi,
When i did a check on my system via netstat -ap, i saw many unknown ports
open

[root chkrootkit-pre-0.36]# telnet localhost 5102
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

Connection closed by foreign host.
[root chkrootkit-pre-0.36]# telnet localhost 5101
