You can &quot;kill&quot; the process &quot;rstatd&quot;, or try<br />
<br />
/etc/rc2.d/S71rpc stop<br />
<br />
I don't have a server can test it, because they all been disabled.

Ok, I will try that tomorrow on my test system. But this should disable only rpc.statd and not other nfs or rpc related services. Is it ?

What vulnerability does it have that isn't patched? If you are using NFS, you need rpc.statd running.

I want to disable the rpc.statd services running on the system as it is one of the vulnerability that needs to be closed. Actually in /etc/inetd.conf it is commented out but still it is working. Also i want that it should not start at boot up of OS. I am using solaris 9.<br />

thanks<br />

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.

Unix OS

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.
