Dear Chris,

Port 1080 is a Socks Proxy port, on that note if you server is a Redhat distro I would put my money on the Redhat Network Update Tool that is misconfigured/not-configured. I have expierienced this type of activity before from the Redhat 7.3 and 8.0 distros trying to contact RHN *constantly* through my firewall. On those distros the RHN daemon "out of the box" is started automatically.
