RE: Port 111 TCP - SUNRPC

["Rob Stevens" <rob () linuxgawd com>]

Rod,
I would check /etc/services for tcp/111 (ie. # cat /etc/services | grep 111)
I Believe with Slackware though SunRPC is being run from within the rc.d
startup scripts located in /etc/rc.d/.  you will have to comment out the RPC
startup entry within the rc scripts.

Subject: Port 111 TCP - SUNRPC


Hello. I'm using nmap to scan a Linux machine I have.
It's a slackware 8.1 box. When I do a normal scan I
see port 111/tcp listed as being open which nmap sees
as possibly being the sunrpc service. I have looked in
inetd.conf and don't see anything related to that. How
can I find out what service is listening on port 111
and disable it?

Thanks,
Rod
