What is port 111 on my CentOS box?

Port 111 on my CentOS 5.2 box is the "portmap" service. You can turn this off by issuing the following command:

#/etc/rc.d/init.d/portmap stop

By default, this is turned on my machine. So upon reboot of your machine, expect that is again turned on. If you want to set the default execution to off, issue the command:

#chkconfig --levels 2345 portmap off
