That's your key Neil - you've got portsentry running. It makes those ports
"listen" even if you don't have the servers running.
As long as they go away when you kill the portsentry process - you shouldn't
have to worry.
Check in the /usr/local/psionic/portsentry/portsentry.conf file - you should
see a list of ports that are pseudo active near the top - those are your
mystery ports.
Hope that helped at all.
