RPC/Portmap

Any ideas on why a HP-UX box would be sending multiple requests to another IP (port 111)? It appears the HP-UX box is repeatedly attempting to "contact" another IP. The port varies on the HP-UX box; but, is consistent (111) on the target.

Re: RPC/Portmap

Depends on your O/S 10.20 portmapper, or 11.x rpcbind, but it is not uncommon for rpc requests to be sent from one box to another. I don't know what programs you are using, but I would run rpcinfo -p other host and see if anything pops out at you.

We are on HP-UX 11. Thing is it is attempting to send to an address that is not accessible (e.g., can not ping)
