It seems everyone on this list YELLS at people who leave rpc.statd
running. I don't know whether it's exploitable or not, I know
enough to turn it off because I don't use it. I am not talking about
people who know what they are doing. I am talking about new users
who have no practical knowledge of the system. I'm talking about
protecting them from being immediately vulnerable. If people are
running services, they should know how to start and stop them, right?
