No, that's entirely expected behavior.  61662 was the *source* port of
the traffic in the original post.  161 (SNMP) was the destination port.
The protocol was UDP, which is stateless.  So the process sending the
UDP traffic doesn't keep port 61662 open.  Nothing at all to worry
about....

Had 61662 been listed as the destination port (and had the original
poster read the ipchains log output correctly) then there might have
been something to be concerned about.

noah
