I was under the impression that I had cleansed my system of rpcbind after the
security discussion on this list. Today, because I was trying to remove
Samba, I ran nmap to see what was going on. Here is the "conversation" I had
with Tux just now:

lisi@Tux:~$ nmap Tux
Starting Nmap 4.62 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2011-08-29 10:31 BST
Interesting ports on Tux (192.168.0.2):
Not shown: 1711 closed ports
PORT STATE SERVICE
22/tcp open ssh
80/tcp open http
111/tcp open rpcbind
6881/tcp open bittorrent-tracker
Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.126 seconds
lisi@Tux:~$ which rpcbind
lisi@Tux:~$ whereis rpcbind
rpcbind:
lisi@Tux:~$ locate rpcbind
lisi@Tux:~$ find rpcbind
find: `rpcbind': No such file or directory
lisi@Tux:~$

Do I need to do anything about it, or should I just take no notice?
Thanks,
Lisi
=======Copy of what I just posted to Yuri query=========
Probably portmap...
See if it's installed
$ dpkg --get-selections portmap
If it is, and it bothers you, it can be removed - check and see if
anything uses it:-
# apt-get -s remove portmap | less
If it's the only package to be removed:-
# apt-get --purge remove portmap
Check your port:-
$ netstat -an | grep 111
SUN RPC is another protocol that uses that port.
Cheers
