But now kde uses fam, and fam needs portmap. Is it possible to run fam without portmap? What are the security risks involved with keeping portmap running? I've got a fairly strict /etc/hosts.allow file (only allows ssh connections from certain IPs, denies all other requests), is that enough? What else can I do to secure portmap?
