Should I close this port ? then How can I close this port?
that is the syslog port for remote hosts' events , you can disable it
adding this to your rc.conf
syslog_flags="-ss"
The default setting is "-s" which means that syslog will not log events
from foreign hosts. -ss means it wont listen at all on that port.
There are few reasons to have syslog listening on that port:
There might be some services running on you host (not that I know any)
that try to write to the loopback interface rather than a UNIX socket.
In that case you can force syslog only to bind to the loopback interface
adding "-b localhost".
Also, you should have your local firewall block incoming traffic.
