Is there any particular reason you *need* to have RPC visible to the
outside? If not, you would be well advised to firewall this stuff,
especially ports 111, 2049, etc... If there *is* a reason you need it
open, then first try to find another solution. Otherwise, you'll just
have to live with it.
RPC is, by nature, insecure.
