...[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# rpcinfo -p rpcinfo: can't contact portmapper: RPC: Remote system error - Connection
The suggestion to look at rpcinfo, rpc, and portmapper really has no relevance
to the issue.
Yes, it does. The variable port is a signature of portmap applications, and *using* the portmapper will tell you what requested the port:
$ /usr/sbin/rpcinfo -p
program vers proto port
100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 2 udp 111 portmapper
100024 1 udp 32768 status
100024 1 tcp 32768 status
391002 2 tcp 32769 sgi_famfam is useful, but not critical, for your desktop applications. Portmap is safe to use as long as you've got your firewall up.
Even if you don't want to use it normally, turning it on to answer your question would have been a trivial and quick solution.
