 |
|
Heya 
I fired up nmap scanning my own PC and found out a service discribed like this:
111/tcp open rpcbind 2 (rpc #100000)
by nmap.
Can someone explain to me in a n00b's language what is this and if this service is not a must-have how to disable it?
tnx. |

You scanned a windows box didn't you? If it is running under linux, it's time to ask yourself why and more important, how.
RPC is a way to execute commands on another box remotely. rpcbind is the corresponding server. |

| Good point. Is there any other common software under linux using RPC? |

hm i feel very stupid now. Netmount and dnsdomainname are not running at all, but the rpcbind port is still open. From what i see above they say something about NFS and i checked the nfs man and i am not using nfs in any way.
| Code: |
/dev/hda2 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 1
/dev/hda3 / xfs noatime 0 0
/dev/hda4 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro,user 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto 0 0
/dev/hda1 /windows ntfs noatime,user 0 0
# NOTE: The next line is critical for boot!
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for
# POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink).
# (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will
# use almost no memory if not populated with files)
# Adding the following line to /etc/fstab should take care of this:
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0

I before i used the mask=777 option on my /windows partition but now im not using it (obviously). This is the result of netstat -lnp
| Code: | Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name

try
| Code: | | /etc/init.d/portmap needsme usesme |
All those services can use portmap. |

It might also be the famd that is started in the Gnome setup. Just a thought, I might be wrong.
