Title: Closing Port 111
Post by: David on April 24, 2001, 01:46:42 AM

How do I go about closing port 111? I'm getting hit big time with
scans on that port. Portsentry is being kept busy.

Port 111 *is* closed.

In the SERVICES file in /etc it was still active. I just commented them out.

/etc/services is just a database which maps names to port numbers (and vice versa). It doesn't cause any services to run.

Ok your right :) Your the expert. I just did a quick scan using nmap and it confirmed that 111 is infact closed.
