Also, port 1033 is only open to connections from 'localhost' ... that 
is, the local computer. Remote computers cannot connect to port 1033.

## from another UNIX machine I have access to (I have obfuscated my 
IP address):
derr@ironsides# telnet csXXXXXX-XXX.austin.rr.com 1033
Trying XX.XX.XX.XXX...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

## whereas, from the localhost you get:
[csXXXXXX-XXX:~] derr% telnet localhost 1033
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.


Someone on MacFixit forums appears to have used LSOF to determine 
that port 1033 is used by the local "loginwindow" process; e.g. this 
port is used by the login pane to authenticate you on login.
