You can try-

Prompt>  netstat -an | grep -i listen

This will tell you all the ports that are listening(aka open).   Most can be 
shutdown in the rc.d directory or the initd.d directory. There are some, the 
Sun RPC processes, that I forget how to shut them down but it is possible. I 
highly recommend shuting down anything you do not use as it is a portal 
which leave your computer exposed. Anyway, I hope this helps, if you need 
anything else, just ask.
