Hi,
All the above mentioned port numbers are invalid. You can confirm it by following the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...P_port_numbers

While they may not have anything officially assigned to them, it isn't as if something can't be bound to those ports. If I wanted to bind openvpn to port 17077, there's nothing to stop me from doing so.

As for the OP, I'd recommend looking at the output of the following command, to be run as root:

Code:
netstat -pantu
Which will show something of this nature:

Code:
[root@node1 ~]# netstat -pantu

You will see what ports are open, what app is bound to them, and the process ID as well.
