What do you mean by "open"?  On my "clients" though there is an entry in
inetd (or xinetd depending on OS) for this it isn't actively listening.
It would only become active if there were a request to the port because
inetd (or xinetd) would see that request and open it.

You can use the Java client to access your Netbackup client machines but
when you do you'll only get the option for "Backup,Archive, and
Restore".   This would let you initiate manual backups, archives or
restores from the client host instead of the master host.

If you're concerned about security it should be safe to disable this
port in your /etc/inetd.conf (or /etc/xinetd.d/bpjava-msvc) file.  You
just won't be able to talk to them from your workstation Java GUI is
all.

Let me rephrase this. This port is also open on the clients not master 
server.  I can see why would it be open on the server, but why is it
open on 
client?
