Portmap Security issue.

Hi,

I'm fixing some vulnerabilities issues on HP-UX Boxes, one of them is about the portmap service using the port 111, the description of the vulnerability says:

"This service acts as a "go between" for client requests and listening services that have dynamically assigned ports"

How can I restric or secure this service?

Also, may want to consider using IPFilter to manage the ports visible off host from the server in general.

Bastille can help you set that up:
