Any connection made by one machine to another without the express knowledge of the 
owner of the box is questionable, IMHO. You would have to check what services are 
running on the machine by doing:

/sbin/service --status-all

and checking to see if something got enabled that should not have. RH still has a long 
way to go in better tailoring the startup services in Anaconda.
