Syncing mobil home directories

I have noticed that my laptop will sync its mobil home directory even when I am off site using the internet through random Joe's wireless internet port.

Does anyone know what type of security checks are involved in this process?

I'm curious from both the server side as well as the client side. Does the server have an open socket that says "Please dump random garbage onto me"? (I could protect that with a firewall but I haven't.)

And does the client have a primitive algorithm looking for silly socket 92 on my_home_server.com that it assumes is mama's nipple (which could be spoofed)? (which would be even hard to protect)

Should I be concerned?

Shirley Not!
