Why is rpcss.exe LISTENing?

I ran command 'sudo netstat -apute' on my Debian Stable with wine running smoothly. I found:

Code:

Active Internet connections (servers and established)

Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address          Foreign Address        State      User      Inode      PID/Program name

tcp        0      0 *:53077                *:*                    LISTEN      abcdef    23754      2766/C:\windows\sys

I checked PID with 'ps aux' command and found it to be from rpcss.exe from C:\windows\system32.

Why is this file in LISTEN mode? Is it necessary? Can I avoid it? Thanks for your replies.

I can't really make out meaning of above 2 posts. The link posted by @JohvVV is broken.

This is probably the correct link: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/...(v=ws.10).aspx

rpcss.exe is the remote procedure call service. No surprise that it is listening.

Habitual posts a wrong URL. JohnVV attempts to fix it, doing more harm than good. Habitual says thanks, erasing his/her original text in the process.
