DCE Endpoing Resolution (port 135)

[Sara DeBellis]

How do I shutoff port 135 on HP-Unix 10.20? This port is broadcasting so much traffic that it is hanging up my network. Also, I don't have a firewall, so I can't block it there. Any ideas?

Check which process is using that port.

lsof -p tcp:135 -- if tcp
lsof -p udp:135 -- if udp.

Check which processes is using it and kill it if really not required.

Or stop it by checking corresponding entry in inetd.conf file.

RAC, that's probably epmap of DCE. If you can afford to shutdown DCE, then do so.

Though one should consider upgrading HPux to 11.11.

Thanks for your inputs. Unfortunately, I do not have the option of upgrading HPUX. I've tried to kill the program and that doesn't seem to work.
