You probably have some daemons listening on port 22 and 25 (ssh and smtp), which would send some data to remote-viewer when it attempts to connect. The client tells you this data does not match what it expects. I'm not exactly sure what you'd expect in this situation? No GSpice-Warning at all? Or something else?
Comment 2 Bill Sanford 2013-09-13 16:20:30 UTC 
Every other port replies with "GSpice-WARNING **: Connection refused."

I kind of expect that instead of the "GSpice-WARNING **: invalid SPICE_MAGIC!" where I made reference to in the initial description.
Comment 3 Bill Sanford 2013-09-13 16:22:11 UTC 
Oh, BTW, this is on a single RHEL 6.5 instance where the remote-viewer is being launched by the command-line.

Imo 'invalid SPICE_MAGIC' is more correct than 'connection refused' in this case. We could reword the warning message if you think that's useful, but I don't think it's that important. If you install more services on your box, you'll get this message for more ports.

I agree with Christophe, closing for now
