SqueezeCenter conflicts with CheckPoint's Secure Client

I tried to run SqueezeCenter on my macbook.
It did not start.
Apparently, there is a known problem with apple security updates etc.
I followed the suggested solution, i.e., installed OnyX, and now it did not work.
I tried the CPAN trick I found here, did not work either.
Finally, I looked into /etc/services looking for usages of port 9000 (the port that SqueezeCenter listens to).

I found that I had a service called cslistener listening to this port.
After some googling, I discovered that it is the secure client of checkpoint.
I stopped the secure client; started SqueezeCenter, and all worked perfectly ...
