port 6000-6063 is reserved for X Window services.

did a google search on 'port 6010'. the result shows that sshd listens
on this port for X11 forwarding.

there are security issues about X11 forwarding. do a google search
and follow the links for some discussion.

but if you don't need it, kill the service. 

hope this provided a lead.
