Author How To Close Port 111

I went to www.grc.com to test my firewall and despite 1) enabling no
services in the default firewall installation (in FC2) and 2) using the
Server Settings GUI to turn off all services that seem to apply - I can't
turn off port 111 (Sun Remote Procedure Call). How can I accomplish that?

Thanks a lot.

chkconfig portmap off
service portmap stop

This is said in the case you don't run NFS. Else configure iptables in
the correct way for your environment.
