[ale] How do I disable port 978udp?

Greetings Aler's:

How does one disable a weird port such as 978/udp ?

Here is nmap of the system in question:

[root at toc: ~]# nmap 204.116.21.180

Starting nmap V. 2.54BETA22 ( www.insecure.org/nmap/ )
Interesting ports on newriverplt.com (204.116.21.180):
(The 1535 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed)
Port       State       Service
22/tcp     open        ssh
25/tcp     open        smtp
80/tcp     open        http
106/tcp    open        pop3pw
110/tcp    open        pop-3
443/tcp    open        https
3306/tcp   open        mysql


Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 1 second

However If I do another port scan of udp ports:
[root at toc: ~]# nmap -sU 204.116.21.180

Starting nmap V. 2.54BETA22 ( www.insecure.org/nmap/ )
Interesting ports on newriverplt.com (204.116.21.180):
(The 1452 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed)
Port       State       Service
978/udp    open        unknown


Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 6 seconds

How do I shut that port 978/udp off?

thanks,

Randy
