In this case, Exceed on your desktops are the servers, the applications on 
your Linux Box are the clients. Applications on the Linux Box connect to the 
Server on a user's desktop on port 6000. If there are high numbered ports 
being used on the Linux box, it is very likely something else that  is useing 
the ports. type:
netstat --ip -l -p -e
as root on the Linux Box to see who is running what program listening on what 
port. There may be steadily increasing-source-ported out-going connections if 
your users use webbrowsers on the Linux Box and do not log out each night. 
This shouldn't interfere with your system anyways.

It's Probably not X useing these ports.
