Hi Frank,
Even if the daemon is listening on the port, you still have to go 
through the rulebase to be able to connect.
You should verify if the ports are allowed either in implied or explicit 
rules. (try to enable the logs on the implied rules
for a short time to get some logs about the auth).

I recommend to use explicit rules and allow only from explicit sources.

I agree it's better if the daemon accepts connections only on internal 
IPs, but for this you have to ask checkpoint how to do.
