what's the portmap daemon do?

Hi, 

just wondering whether I need the portmap daemon running or not.

I confess that the man page didn't really help me.

from what I can gather it has something to do with nfs, which I don't
need.

as fast as possible, so they can hurry up again in order
to rush down again.  In a way this is funny,...
