Are ports above 1024 closed by default ?

Hi guys,

Just needed to know if all the ports above 1024 are closed by default. I know that below 1024 the ports are reserved for the kernel and ports above 1024 are reserved for user applications.

But by default, if I do not have a rule in my firewall to block ports above 1024, Will my system accept incoming or outgoing traffic?. (I think outgoing YES).

I am running CentOS 4.x

Thanks for reading !!
