That's another term for portmapper aka portmap aka rpc.portmap. In case you're not familiar with it, the Sun Microsystems portmapper is a service used by NFS, NIS, and a long list of generally rather obscure other network daemons, which get assigned ports by it. (Thus the name.) It is a security liability, and should absolutely be disabled if you don't need it. > By the way, what's on port 6000 and 7102 anyway? 6000 is almost certainly your X11 server. 7102, probably the X11 font server. You should make sure that those ports cannot be reached from anywhere but localhost. -- Cheers, "Reality is not optional." Rick Moen -- Thomas Sowell [EMAIL PROTECTED] _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
