Description:

The remote host appears to be running psyBNC on this port.

psyBNC is an 'easy-to-use, multi-user, permanent IRC-Bouncer with many features. Some
of its features include symmetric ciphering of talk and connections (Blowfish and IDEA),
the possibility of linking multiple bouncers to an internal network including a shared
partyline, vhost- and relay support to connected bouncers and an extensive online help
system.'

The presence of this service indicates a high possibility that your server has been
compromised by a remote attacker. The only sure fix is to reinstall from scratch.
