Good morning (from Finland).

I can't remember if I've already asked this here, but this concerns me
quite a bit, so I'll ask anyway. So, 'iplogger' shows me, that there
has been connection attempts to port 16001 from inside my system
(127.0.0.1) from 14:02:02 to 15:02:23. During that time, there's also
three sunrpc (port 111) connection attempts, again from inside my own
system. Could someone possibly shed some light on this issue, because
I'd so much like to know, what's this port 16001 and what the heck in
my system would try to use that to the outer world. And even more I'd
like to know about the connection attempts about port 111 -- maybe
because I saw FBI ranking RPC services the most "dangerous" ones. :-)

So, what would try to connect to my system's port 16001 and 111 from
within my own system? Should I be concerned? Should I expect the worst?
Any insight on this issue would calm me down...
