Yes, it's the same except for the "rpcbind" line that now is not present
because the service has not been started.

Well, they seem to fail to be stopped when I shutdown or restart the
system :-?

I have tried, for instance, to manually stop "gnome-pty-helper" service
but is restarted/spawned again.

And not only gnome-pty-helper but the other services. What I find

shutting down/restarting sequence does not.

I'll check the services and play with them a bit, let's see if I can find
what is causing this.
