I just noticed that Sun PRC is running on Suse 11. Do I need this or can I disable RPC altogether? Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You might want to go out to your car, open the hood and remove some parts, first.

No, it's not 'under the hood'. It refers to chrome muffler bearings. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Of course, you wouldn't want to lose your bearings. ;-) -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

"Muffler bearings?" Is that like a "left-handed monkey wrench" or a "wheel rotation reverser?"

I notice also that, while rpc is running, it is not listed by ps ax. Is that normal? Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You`ll also find TCP is not listed, but it`s probably running. This is network protocol stuff and not applications. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Exactly what did you look for? % ps ax |egrep -i rpc 16099 ? S< 0:00 [rpciod/0] 16100 ? S< 0:00 [rpciod/1] 16195 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd

I just use egrep out of habit 'cause I frequently employ extended regular expressions. In this case there's no difference between the two. So, how certain are you that an RPC daemon really is running? Randall Schulz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

the command lsof -i returned two rpc processes listening to sockets. That's why I was surprised that no rpc processes were listed by ps ax. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
