Wow! OK. I can detect a "portmap" process with ps. I left it running
because I read somewhere that it was needed to make rpc calls. From what
you wrote I guess I won't really be needing those services that make rpc
calls so I'm killing it.
I'm kinda wondering though... why does it start up? I'm trying to search
my init scripts and I haven't found where it's called up. It could be
anywhere though, couldn't it?

Will a line like this work?
ipchains -A input --dport :6000 -j DENY
Thanks a million! God bless!
