RE: Strange set of TCP ports

["J Jason Bridge" <jbridge () kw igs net>]

I found this:

[Joshua Rafofsky] wrote "Perhaps one of the most unheralded features of
iTunes 4 is the ability to connect and share with music outside of your own
local network! In order to activate this, turn on sharing in the iTunes
preferences. Also be sure to open port 3689 in your router or firewall (this
is iTunes' port for sharing). Then, tell your buddy across town to open
iTunes 4 and choose "Connect to shared music" from the Advanced menu. Then
he types in your public IP address.

"Voila! He will have full interactive access to your music library, as well
as any playlists you decide to share. (The collection shows up in the left
column, the same way local machines would show up via Rendezvous.) Let me
reiterate, this is *not* merely a stream of what you are playing... this is
your full library, with full listening priveleges. Note that this only works
with current MP3's, as any purchased (AAC) files are authorized to work on
up to 3 machines with your account only.

Subject: Strange set of TCP ports


Greetings,

can someone help me in identifying the following strange subset of open
TCP ports ?
3687/tcp open  unknown
3688/tcp open  unknown
3689/tcp open  rendezvous
3690/tcp open  unknown
3691/tcp open  unknown

Googling or looking at the usual known ports lists do not yield any
results. I'd like to identify this beast if possible. Thanks in advance.

Stefano
