In fact, it was for the = exact same reason. Here are excerpts from various replies that I got: RPC stands for Remote Procedure Call; 'man -a rpc' will give you two manual pages to read. there are two general ways to start a daemon, on boot with rc (rc.conf, rc.local, etc) or with inetd.conf. you can disable it by adding a line to your /etc/rc.conf: portmap_enable=3D"NO" see: man rpc man rpc.statd Hope this helps, it did for me. Thanks again guys!
