 I have the same need. Also, the following thing occours with exactly?
 the same configuration:

 on i686:

Port    State       Protocol  Service
22      open        tcp        ssh             
80      open        tcp        http            
487     open        tcp        saft            
515     open        tcp        printer         
1026    open        tcp        nterm           
6000    open        tcp        X11             
12345   open        tcp        NetBus

 on ppc:

Port    State       Protocol  Service
22      open        tcp        ssh             
515     open        tcp        printer         
6000    open        tcp        X11             
12345   open        tcp        NetBus   

 Is there any particular reason why saft, printer and nterm have to
 appear? I do not want to give that service, and I could not find the
 way of getting rid of them. Also, is X11 *really* needed?
 Feedback welcome!
