Well he is running a Unix so he is probably better off than someone 
running notorious Windows. Nevertheless, listening to a port that 
supports a function you do not need has no benefit and a (probably small) 
potential risk. The CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) is only useful if 
he is using CUPS printing. Most people don't. The Netadmin port I don't 
know about. I know my Mac is not listening to that port.
