Those aren't ports, they're pid's. You have restarted inetd between
security checks, closing the one running at pid 448 and opening the one at
32668.

Because the security check script does not have the ability to define
things that are allowed to be world writeable. Therefore it just warns
about anything that is. If anyone happens to have a patch, I'm sure Yoann
would like to see it :)
