Run 'netstat -pant |grep LISTEN' as root and you can see what program is
listening on that port.  

This is presuming that this port is open on your machine and you are
trying to find out why.  Ports for TCP/IP aren't "for" any specific
purpose (unlike CHAOSnet with symbolic port names); common services have
ports assigned to them (is it IANA?) and are usually listed in your
services file if that is the case.  However, that only applies to ports
< 1024.  Above that, it's a free-for-all.
