Re: Can I turn off portmap?
Hello:
You can turn off the portmapper vi /etc/init.d/xinetd stop or
/etc/init.d/inetd stop. This however is not recommend because
any requests comming in on ports will not be serviced. Note.
portmaps are used to save system resources. It starts up
listening daemons on an as required basis as opposed to
having those daemon running and listening at all times.
