Edit /etc/rc.conf - and make sure 'rpc_portmapper', 'rpc_statd' and any other 'rpc' services are set to 'no'. I've seen a few hacks for RPC services, these mostly tended to be on Linux though... By default rpc_statd and portmapper are enabled on FreeBSD 'clean' installs... - There on my 'normal install' list I run through when setting up new boxes as a reminder to turn them off... ;-) You will probably need them if you use NFS though... -Kp To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
