Eh? To stop sunrpc I just typed: /etc/init.d/portmap stop mv -i /etc/init.d/portmap /etc/init.d/portmap-hidden Perhaps there's a typo in "/etc/rc2.d" because my portmap was started from /etc/rcS.d/S41portmap. But I think they may be getting caught out by portmap's having a second chance to start. If there's an nfs in /etc/fstab, then /etc/init.d/mountnfs.sh will start it.
