I don't know about that; if Matthias's list was complete, nmap missed
about four open ports I have running pure Plan 9 services (rexexec,
cpu, etc).  However, he did show me that I had a pop3 running that I
didn't want (which I've now turned off.  Thanks, Matthias!).  Then
again, I don't suppose nmap scans every possible port i in Z_65536.
