Hello: You can turn off the portmapper vi /etc/init.d/xinetd stop or /etc/init.d/inetd stop. This however is not recommend because any requests comming in on ports will not be serviced. Note. portmaps are used to save system resources. It starts up listening daemons on an as required basis as opposed to having those daemon running and listening at all times.
