I'm not too worried that's its left open because the machine is behind a
firewall and that service is blocked via the firewall.
I telnetted into that port to see if I could get a version number...
Some services announce their version numbers when you telnet into their
port. (i.e smtp, pop) but there are many services that don't, I figured
it was worth chance. :)
