WTF is SunRPC?

[Falcon]

WTF is SunRPC running on port 111 and how do I turn it off? It is really makeing me mad even though I know it is firewalled off.

Also, how do I stop apache from launching https on port 443?

Thanks,

portmap. We have no clue what OS you running. In BSD, you can disable it in /etc/rc.conf. You probably don't need it if you don't run any NFS server.

Check your httpd.conf and search for 443, replace it with whatever high number port you want.

I am running RedHat 7.1. It is portmap? I will just turn it off in the services config.

Yes, it's portmap. Go into /etc/rc.d/rcx.d (x being whatever runlevel you are running, 5 if you boot into X, 3 if you boot into text) and find the entry that looks something like:

S50portmap (the number might be different)

and do:
mv S50portmap xS50portmap

This will keep portmap from starting up when you boot.

Just noticed you said RedHat 7.1. I've never used 7.1, but that should work. If it doesn't, let me know.

I got it, just went into the services control program and turned it off.
