I've been working on tightening my box down, and I was wondering what rpc.statd is and does. I found it listening on port(s): COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME rpc.statd 619 root 4u IPv4 890 UDP *:795 rpc.statd 619 root 5u IPv4 901 UDP *:1024 rpc.statd 619 root 6u IPv4 904 TCP *:1024 (LISTEN) I did a man on rpc, but didn't help much.
