man, you took my genuity away. i straced it already and the following
are the offending lines:
9494 17:35:21 ioctl(3, SIOCGIFCONF, 0xbfffccdc) = 0
9494 17:35:21 ioctl(3, SIOCGIFFLAGS, 0xbfffcce4) = 0
9494 17:35:21 sendto(3, "\1\33\35n\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\2\0\1\206\240\0\0
\0\2\0\0\0\3\0"..., 56, 0, {sin_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(111),
sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}}, 16) = 56
9494 17:35:21 poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}], 1, 5000) = 0
and it does that for precisely 60 seconds.
and right before, it tries to stat /var/yp/binding/madduck.net, which
does not exist, and as far as i can tell, no yp* crap is installed...
now, the above is clearly some form of requesting to sunrpc (portmap),
which i am not even running. question is what the heck it is
requesting.
is NIS running over sunrpc?
how do i disable this once and for all???
debian xdm can't force me to use portmap!
thanks for any input.
