The Unix solution is netstat. Ask netstat for all listening connections
like this:
$ netstat -a | grep LISTEN

Example from one of my machines:
tcp        0      0 *:swat                  *:*                    
LISTEN      
tcp        0      0 *:6346                  *:*                    
LISTEN      
tcp        0      0 *:mysql                 *:*                    
LISTEN      
tcp        0      0 *:netbios-ssn           *:*                    
LISTEN      
tcp        0      0 *:http-alt              *:*                    
LISTEN      
tcp        0      0 *:6000                  *:*                    
LISTEN      
tcp        0      0 *:www-http              *:*                    
LISTEN      
tcp        0      0 *:ftp                   *:*                    
LISTEN      
tcp        0      0 donelle.georgeto:domain *:*                    
LISTEN      
tcp        0      0 localhost:domain        *:*                    
LISTEN

LISTEN      
tcp        0      0 *:auth                  *:*

go down the line and identify the services.

This works on Linux, Solaris, and AIX.
