To all who replied:

Thanks for the tips and insight!

I looked into sockstat and found that ports 1020 and 1021 were used by
nfs.
Now I know how to have both sendmail and lpd working without listening
to external calls. Thanks!

Regarding the following:
arp: unknown hardware address format (0x0800)

I'm not using cablemodem. I will pass this to the sys/net admin.

I also know that I must do something to protect my machine. I will
investigate setting up a firewall (I have a 1-nic machine).

Thanks again!
