Subject: Re: [SLE] Closing Open Ports ?
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.

-**-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 ?

-**-Greg,
-**-
-**-/etc/services is just a list of ports associated with services. If
-**-one wants to close the ports then you would have to comment out the
-**-line associated with them in the inetd.conf file and restart inetd.
-**-This is basic Unix/Linux thing .. it works this way on my Solaris
-**-(sparc) box, SuSE Linux box and my freeBSD box.. It's inetd that
-**-controls these things..not /etc/services.

-**--**-Yes, but once you kill the process associated with the port, if it is
-**--**-commented out of /etc/services the daemon should not start up
-**--**-the next time init scripts are run. This is an indirect way of
-**--**-doing things, though. Haven't checked this on Linux but Solaris,
-**--**-HP-UX, and OpenBSD behave this way.
