Lately I have noticed that portmapper is spawning 100+ processes on several of my servers. I've never seen this before and I wasn't aware that Portmapper even spawned children, until Thursday, when I had trouble with a mail server. The children processes dies off after a few seconds, and others are created. The versions of FreeBSD on the affected machines are 2.2.8 through 3.5.1. The services that the computers have in common NFS and NIS. I haven't been able to determine the cause. I've disabled NFS on a machine and restarted it, but the problem remained. I haven't tried disabling NIS yet. Has anyone seen this before, or might know what the problem is? I thought that maybe my computers have been broken into, but I can't find any evidence of it.
