heres my nessus summary, if you want the actual report let me know:

unknown (842/tcp)
https (443/tcp)
vampire (6669/tcp)
unknown (25456/tcp)
irc-serv (6666/tcp)
unknown (4702/tcp)
unknown (11798/tcp)
vocaltec-gold
unknown (25457/tcp)
ircd (6667/tcp)
netbios-ssn (139/tcp)
sunrpc (111/tcp)
http (80/tcp)
iscsi-target (3260/tcp)
microsoft-ds (445/tcp)
ldap (389/tcp)
irc (6668/tcp)
prosiak (22222/tcp)
cddbp (888/tcp)
sunrpc (111/udp)
unknown (840/udp)
netbios-ns (137/udp)
ntp (123/udp)

Thats the open ports on a iscsi-r3 box. The only things I'm expecting are 3260 and 22222!

possible that Xinetd is enabled? why would I see IRC!
