Strange service on Port 5656

Dear PenTesters,

while conducting one of those tests this list was made for, I stumbled over a TCP Service on Port 5656. If I netcat on this port the following "banner" is displayed: ",!-

When I enter something at this prompt the connection is closed immediately. Nessus detects this service as time server, can anyone confirm/ deny that? If this is no time server did someone see this banner before? The host in question is a SuSE Linux System and has a vulnerable (OpenSSH 2.1.1) SSH daemon running, so maybe this service is part of a rootkit?

Thanks in advance for any hints
BF
