Port 111

[JM]

Hi all,

Recently, I realized that port 111 (portmap) was open.  It was previously
closed according to bastille-firewall.
'/etc/init.d/portmap stop' gives Stopping portmap daemon: portmap.  Then,
a 'netstat -lnp | grep 111' gives:
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:443             0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
     1112/apache-ssl
unix  2      [ ACC ]     STREAM     LISTENING     8947   1116/gcache     
/var/run/gcache_port

But ' nmap -p111 localhost' gives:

Starting nmap V. 2.54BETA31 ( www.insecure.org/nmap/ )
The 1 scanned port on localhost (127.0.0.1) is: closed

if I turn on portmap:

     2045/portmap
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:443             0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
     1112/apache-ssl
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:111             0.0.0.0:*                     
     2045/portmap
unix  2      [ ACC ]     STREAM     LISTENING     8947   1116/gcache      
  /var/run/gcache_port

I wonder what is the reason of this behavior.

Thanks,

-Jose.
