If you don't have a need for any rpc services such as nfs, remove the portmapper package and all other packages that depend on it in dselect. Alternatively, remove the /etc/rc2.d/S*portmap* symlink and the same for the other rpc and nfs related services in runlevel 2. That way, you can selectively enable these services with "telinit 3", but you won't be running them by default, which is runlevel 2. Generally, it's best to not install packages if you don't need them, and that goes especially for network services. Cheers, Joost
