nautilus and portmapper port 111

[Andreas Wüst <awuest@swissonline.ch>]

Hi

Although I can see no evidence for portmapper being run by issuing
"netstat -tu -l -ee -p", everytime nautilus is started it connects to
port 111, and even gets an answer from there. And even after this
connection, I can't see a server listening on port 111 via netstat.

What is going on here? If I block port 111 nautilus wont start.

How can I make sure portmapper is not being run, or at least only in
a controlled manner, say for nautilus?
