Hi, please open a new thread next time instead of digging out this old one.
There is some information to your question already in this thread.
If you don't have an entry in your /etc/services, you can try with the command (if available) "lsof" if you can see what uses this port. Also you can check with netstat -a for example if it is up and what status it has.
For blocking ports you might want to use a firewall; depending on your system on Linux you could use ipchains/iptables.

FGADM(8) System Manager's Manual FGADM(8)
NAME
fgadm - filtergen command program
SYNOPSIS
fgadm [ check | reload | save | stop ]
DESCRIPTION
fgadm is a simple command interface for managing filtergen(8) based packet filters.
USAGE
fgadm can be used to stop existing filters (thus turning them off), reload new packet filters, save currently running filters for
longevity, and to check filter scripts for errors before reloading.
The following commands are accepted by fgadm:
check Check the filter script /etc/filtergen/rules.filter for errors. The generated filter will be printed on standard output, and errors
printed to standard error.
reload Replace the current live packet filter with the one in /etc/filtergen/rules.filter. The script will be tested for errors before
reloading.
save The current live packet filter will be saved in a distribution-friendly way. On Red Hat systems, this will save the iptables or
ipchains firewall that is currently loaded into the kernel to load at boot with the iptables or ipchains initscript.
stop This command will flush the current live packet filter out and put it in a default accept mode, thus no firewalling will be in
place. This is useful to abort firewalls in an emergency.
EXAMPLES
One may find the following sequence of commands useful for making firewall changes on live servers:
# at now + 2 min
warning: commands will be executed using (in order) a) $SHELL b) login shell c) /bin/sh
at> fgadm stop
at> ^D<EOT>

# fgadm reload
# atq

# atrm 53
# fgadm save
FILES
/etc/filtergen/rules.filter
Packet filter descriptions are read from this file when fgadm is used.
/etc/filtergen/fgadm.conf
This file alters the behaviour of filtergen as called from fgadm.
BUGS
fgadm save does not work on Debian systems with iptables due to a lack of common sense in the iptables package.

AUTHOR
fgadm was written by Jamie Wilkinson <jaq@spacepants.org> for the filtergen package, to ease maintenance of filtergen-based firewalls.
