[PLUG] port listening question


On my firewall, I see the following result of netstat -a.
The telnet is really ssh, so don't worry there: I just have ssh listen
on port 23 so I can get through my company firewall to home.

I'm wondering if anyone can help me understand whether the other stuff
poses a risk. My interpretation is that since they're not listening,
they must be outgoing, and so they're probably not a problem. But
maybe I'm just confused.

Tia.

puddle.purple.com.
