My solution was "apt-get --purge remove portmap"... apt will let you
know if you have any packages installed which actually require it.
apt-get --purge remove portmap reported a required removal of GNOME which I did not want, so I instead used the "update-rc.d portmap remove" alternative.
However, this did stop nmap from reporting this which I don't need:
111/tcp open rpcbind
But, I still have:
732/tcp open unknown
742/tcp open netrcs
So, lsof and netstat inform me that:
famd 1828 bart 3u IPv4 2593 TCP localhost.localdomain:732 (LISTEN)
rpc.statd 1832 root 6u IPv4 2685 TCP *:742 (LISTEN)
So I did:
update-rc.d -f fam remove
But the "rpc.statd" is still confusing to me and my research so far didn't bring me to a straightforward solution as the other items....
