Re: Removing portmapper, Re: firewalling
I think the cleanest way to do this is
# cp -p /etc/init.d/portmap /root/
# update-rc.d portmap remove
and then keep track of the links (which update-rc.d will tell you about)
in case you need to put it back.
# ls portmap*
portmap portmap.links
# cat portmap.links
/etc/rc0.d/S10portmap
/etc/rc6.d/S10portmap
/etc/rcS.d/S41portmap
