Are you running the RPC portmapper? Take a look and see if portmap is turned on. It's for NIS and it's associated with NFS as well I believe. * Dee McKinney (dmckinney@akfiberstar.com) [001218 12:09]: -**-Ben, -**- -**-No matter what I do though these ports are still showing up ? -**- -**-Port State Service -**-111/tcp open sunrpc -**-931/tcp open unknown -**-934/tcp open unknown -**-939/tcp open unknown -**- -**-Is this something that can be dealt with locally ? -**- -**-/Dee -**- -**- -**- -**- -**- -**------Original Message----- -**-From: Ben Rosenberg [mailto:brosenb@suse.com] -**-Sent: Sunday, December 17, 2000 10:05 PM -**-To: SuSE Linux English -**-Subject: Re: [SLE] Closing Open Ports ? -**- -**- -**-Greg, -**- -**-/etc/services is just a list of ports associated with services.
