Not offhand. If a program binds to a socket (to listen for connections)
and supplies the port number 0 then the OS allocates a free port. If the
program is unpriviledged (not root) the port allocated is over 1023. I
would guess some program has requested a port. Or an unpriviledge program
requested ports starting at 1024 until a free one was found. COuld
be normal!
Say this:
lsof -i :1025
It should tell you which program has port 1025 open.
