Open ports

[Bill <bill3@uniserve.com>]

Hi,
I'm still running wheezy but noticed a couple of open ports the other 
day. This is just a simple laptop - no nfs access needed, no need for a 
networked port mapper, and certainly not a dns server.

So why are they there, what uses them and why shouldn't I close them?
(I'm assuming there must be a good reason to have wide open ports.)

Thanks,

	b.
