I can't seem to figure out how to keep portmap from starting when I reboot. I've changed all references to portmap in the rc*.d directories from the S##portmap form to a K##portmap form. That doesn't seem to keep the portmapper from starting.
I have to kill it each time I reboot. Just in case I forget though, I've added the following to my /etc/hosts/deny file: portmap: ALL: (/usr/sbin/safe_finger -l @%h | mail root) & and I've removed the various NFS-related packages. I read a few solutions to this problem in the archives, and they range from renaming the portmap binary to editing the script in /etc/init.d. I didn't want to resort to these little hacks. Is there a way to keep it from starting in the first place? Also, why is portmap included in the netbase package anyway? tia... -- -------------------------------------------- ) Mark Wagnon ) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) ( Chula Vista, CA ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ( --------------------------------------------
