<nods> Yes, I actually recently started changing it as I have used the default ports for years (5800 for the application and 5900 for the Java Viewer)...however latley I have been getting random connect requests from people who I guess are just scanning the ports. Never really had a problem with that until recently. I mean..I had UltraVNC configured to auto deny the requests...but still...its annoying, and potentially unsafe.

So yes, I do now change it to a custom port.
