a buncha different scripts seem to call it, to fully disable it i
usually rename /sbin/portmap to /sbin/portmap.old or something. that
insures that no script will ever call it, even when i install new
software. the main default scripts that will call it are the nfs
scripts(require portmap), inetd, xinetd and portmap.
