Broadcasting on port 31337?

Our IT guy tells me that my Linux laptop is broadcasting on port 31337.  And 
while I don't trust his competence, I am concerned about this.  I've looked 
around and it looks like 31337 is used by Back Orifice which, as far as I 
know, is a Windows beast.

I've added an IPTABLES rule to block outbound traffic to that port from my 
computer but I still need to figure out what's going on.  Anyone have any 
ideas?
