I'm doing some research on port mapping services -- services that map protocol and program names to IP port numbers -- and have come up with a question I'm having trouble answering. What is the difference between the "portmap" service (generally offered on TCP port 111) and the "loc-srv" (or "epmap") service that many machines seem to offer on TCP port 135? Are they merely the same service offered on different ports? Is the service offered on port 135 an enhanced or proprietary version of the one offered on 111? --Brett Glass
