Recently I installed FreeBSD 2.2.7 for the first time (prior to that I was using 2.2.5) and discovered an open port I've never seen before: tcp 0 0 *.111 *.* LISTEN I didn't notice this right away and though somebody had hack me and left a back door open on port 111 at the time. Soon after that I found port 111 was open an another system running 2.2.7 that hadn't ever been connected to the Internet. I looked it up in /etc/services which lists it as Sun Remote Procedure Call. I check the man pages, /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/rc.conf but can't find any reference to it. I have a pretty good guess what it's for but don't have any use for it. How to I turn it off?
