You can try-
Prompt> netstat -an | grep -i listen
This will tell you all the ports that are listening(aka open). Most can be
shutdown in the rc.d directory or the initd.d directory. There are some, the
Sun RPC processes, that I forget how to shut them down but it is possible. I
highly recommend shuting down anything you do not use as it is a portal
which leave your computer exposed. Anyway, I hope this helps, if you need
anything else, just ask.
