I have portmap, but not rpcbind.  Would that explain why that port is open?  I 
seem to have nothing left of rpcbind and its configuration/data files etc.

The other three are open fpr identifiable (by me) reasons.  But why is that 
rpcbind one still open?  The computer has been completely shutdown between 
wehn I removed rpcbind and now.
