Well, here is a list of TCP ports which were open on byte-me, a sun4u
machine running 9.0 with mitchb logged in, according to "athinfo
byte-me listeners":

	13	daytime
	21	ftp
	22	ssh
	23	telnet
	37	time
	79	finger
	111	sunrpc
	544	kshell
	811	write
	2105	eklogin
	2108	rkinit
	3715	gshell
	6000	X
	32771	???
	49155	athinfo

I think port 32771 is probably xscreensaver.  So, it looks like Andrew
is correct unless something is listening to a UDP port, and I don't
believe anything GNOMEish does.

So, I think you can take this task off the list as a high-priority
item.  There are still local attacks to be concerned about, although
on all platforms except Linux we're hopelessly behind the game there.
