Re: rpc.statd paranoia

[BTP <smokefat@gmail.com>]

My solution was "apt-get --purge remove portmap"... apt will let you
know if you have any packages installed which actually require it.

apt-get --purge remove portmap reported a required removal of GNOME
which I did not want, so I instead used the "update-rc.d portmap
remove" alternative.

However, this did stop nmap from reporting this which I don't need:
     
     111/tcp  open  rpcbind

But, I still have:

    732/tcp  open  unknown
    742/tcp  open  netrcs

So, lsof and netstat inform me that:

famd     
1828        bart   
3u     IPv4      
2593              
TCP localhost.localdomain:732 (LISTEN)
rpc.statd 1832       
root    6u    
IPv4      
2685              
TCP *:742 (LISTEN)

So I did:
    update-rc.d -f fam remove

But the "rpc.statd" is still confusing to me and my research so far
didn't bring me to a straightforward solution as the other items....
