Hi,

The local address column lists the ports that your OpenSuSE box is listening for connections on.

So as an example

0.0.0.0:22 will equate to accepting connections on all local interfaces for port 22 (ssh). This port is opened up by starting the SSHD daemon.

To match the list of port numbers tro actual services take a look in the services file under /etc.

i.e: less /etc/services

You will see a description of the service name and port number used for that service.
