| Hi, I'd like to turn of portmap but I'm not sure if anything on my system relies on it. Is there any way to tell if any programs or services on my system are using RPC, without disabling portmap and looking for obvious errors? I have a new install of Debian Woody with basic services needed for webhosting such as apache, mysql, qmail, sqwebmail, vpopmail, etc. No NFS or Samba or any fancing networking services. Can I do without portmap? Cheers, Cam |

If that wants to uninstall anything besides portmap, then that anything needs portmap. Welcome to the wonders of apt Jan |

Can I do without portmap? Probably. You can issue the command ''rpcinfo -p'' which should tell you which services are using remote procedure calls. -- Neil |

| Hi, Thanks, thats just what I was looking for. Appears that onlyu portmapper and its status daemon (rpc.statd) is using rpc so looks like it's safe to turn it off.
