Okay, so I have edited my /etc/inetd.conf file to turn off discard, time,
and daytime.
No Problem.
I am not using NFS or NIS, and I have started to hunt down how/where to turn
off portmap.
Hmmm...
I check out things in /etc/init.d. Ahh... mountnfs.sh!
But wait! I read through the script.... It shouldn't be on! There's
nothing to turn it on.
my /etc/fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options>
<dump> <pass>

What am I missing? It's potato with a 2.2.15 kernel.
