The comment on the reason port 601 is blocked in chrome is quite funny. http://src.chromium.org/svn/trunk/src/net/base/net_util.cc

Someone was too lazy to google it:

syslog-conn 601/tcp Reliable Syslog Service syslog-conn 601/udp Reliable Syslog Service

Really? QOTD is blocked? What big threat is there from quote of the day? Did some nerd just sit down and arbitrarily pick antiquated unix services and mark them as "unsafe?"

for the lazy

  static const int kRestrictedPorts[] = {
  1,    // tcpmux
  ..
  587,  // stmp?
  601,  // ??
  636,  // ldap+ssl
  .. };
