The first of Timbuktu Pro's four service ports — remote control of a Mac or Windows desktop.
Timbuktu Pro, the Motorola/Netopia remote-control product that was a staple of Mac administration, opens connections on port 407 and then carries each service on its own TCP port: 1417 through 1420 for control, screen observation, and file send/exchange. IANA registers 1417 as timbuktu-srv1. The product is discontinued and unsupported, so an open 1417 today means an old workstation still running an abandoned remote-control agent.
Do not expose
An unmaintained remote-desktop agent with no vendor security updates; it should not be reachable from any untrusted network, and preferably should not be running at all.
