OK,  the first netstat command didn't show anything listening on port 
177

issuing the service restart command gave:

xfs shutdown FAILED
xfs restart SUCCEEDED

still nothing from netstat on port 177, so I tried netstat -anp without 
narrowing the results with grep and got the following:

Everything with xfs in it *appears* to be listening, but none of them 
are associated with port 177.  That appears to be associated with gdm.

Let me know if I need to get on the chat and I'll see what I can 
arrange.

Thanks,
