I must be doing something wrong, since it had not given me the same
informatinon you show above. The only way I could find it, based on the
suggestion of another poster, was to stop sig_fam and note that the connection
was closed.
I have never found any use for portmapper, hence do not run it. Am I missing
something?
I run sig_fam only because I have been told it improves the operation of some
apps. Despite my reading about it, I never have quite understood what it
really does. I am tempted to shut it down and see what happens.
