Nmap of a Debian 7.6 KDE machine indicates rpcbind (port 111) open.
This otherwise known as the portmapper service. It is used by Remote Procedure Call services, such as NFS (hence the RPC in the name) You can check what services are using this with the following command:
rpcinfo -p <ip-or-hostname-of-host> Cheers Iain
What is rpcbind used for in a default installation?
Thanks,
