Is port 6000 the X server?  I hope so because that's what my
machine reports.  Use 'lsof -i' as root to see what process
is watching which port.  

Also, while not a guarantee, see if a line like:

rpm --verify `rpm --query -f \`which lsof\``

reports any errors first.  See the rpm manpage to interpret any
response.
