The general rule is if (a) you don't know what a service is, or (b) you don't know if you need it, you probably don't. If you did need it, you'd know. Disable rpc.statd, rpc.nfsd, portmap(per), and any other RPC-related daemons that might be running. Running unneeded rpc.* services has caused more than one machine to get compromised. > 2a) If so, how do I make this error go away?

Remove the packages that provide rpc.statd, rpc.mountd, portmap, and the other RPC services that are installed. I don't recall the package names right off-hand, but it's nothing that `dpkg --status filename` won't tell you. HTH. j. -- Jeremy L. Gaddis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
