Matt,

     7  Echo
     9  Discard

[list of ports truncated]

The client claims that they are not running
Appletalk (548) but I'm not
sure
whether to believe. We haven't been able to get
console access to that
machine to do any further investigation (but have
blocked it upstream). Of
the above services, most look legit from what I
can tell with the
exception
of 548 and 1025-1027

Most probably your client has been rooted. 

Based on a list of open ports derived from a port
scan, how can you say that?


Until some very basic information is collected from
the system...which the client can do
themselves...using fport, pslist, psservice, listdlls,
etc...there's really no way to tell what's going on. 

Given that trojans are configureable, and also given
that some trojans use known ports, using lists of
trojans and a port scan isn't a very conclusive means
of investigating.
