   "Solicited" is a human concept. If you "cron" or "at" a program on a   
   remote machine via ssh, then log out, so that it tries to connect back to   
   your desktop sometime(s) later, that is "solicited", but your desktop's   
   firewall (if set up correctly) won't look at it as such until you tell it.
