>Just noticed that someone decided to try to be annoying with >my rpc.statd: 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. Michael Maxwell | Certified Unix Geek: BSD/Solaris/SCO drwho @ xnet . com | "I'm not wearing any pants..."
