	Yes, ports 513 and 514 are for real. However you should try to
avoid using rshell and rlogin protocols (which need those ports) and
instead use SSH (ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/unix/security/login/ssh). How are
they legitimately used? You mean, which programs? Uhm.. "man rlogin rsh"
	As for 111 - this is used by portmapers. You should turn it off if
you don't have a need for it. Edit /etc/rc.conf to do so. What programs
might use portmaper? The ones which make RPC calls. I personally have yet
not had a need for RPC on my system. Solaris on the other hand.. well..

	Wasn't sure what you were asking. Does the above help?
