Port question

Hello all, I just joined the list and this is my first post to it.  I
am a networking noob and am not sure if this is something I should
worry about or not.  I just set up a Smoothwall Express firewall and
later ran a Shields Up scan at grc. com  It showed all ports as
stealth except one, port 113, which it showed as closed.  Shields Up
gave my system a "failed" score based on that one port showing as
closed.  My question is, is this anything I need to worry about and,
if so, how might I fix it?
Thanks to all who offer their knowledge and help to those of us just
getting started.
