Running nmap localhost I have discovered that there are some open ports in my system.
Here it's the output of "nmap localhost":

I know all ports but 1024 and 1025. Using fuser I have found out that 1024 is used by the process "kdeinit:kxmlrpcd". What is it? And what is it for?
This seems to belong to KDE2's interprocess communication processes. Maybe an XML engine?
1025 is used by the process "/opt/kde2/bin/artsd -F 3 -S 512 -d -n" Again, what is it? What is it for?
aRts is KDE2's sound server (similar to esound). It enables multiple applications to play sound simultaneously.
Is it a feature?
Yes. LenZ -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Lenz Grimmer SuSE GmbH mailto:grimmer@suse.de Schanzaeckerstr. 10 http://www.suse.de/~grimmer/ 90443 Nuernberg, Germany The moon may be smaller than Earth, but it's further away
