Need a little advice on the hosts.deny file


I'm reading through the nfs-howto and it explaining how to configure the hosts.deny. It says add the following lines.
portmap:ALL
lockd:ALL
mountd:ALL
rquotad:ALL
statd:ALL
Are these the only daemons to block access to? When I do an ls -l | grep rpc in my /usr/sbin directory I get this listing.
rpc.bootparamd*
rpc.mountd*
rpc.nfsd*
rpc.rquotad*
rpc.rusersd*
rpc.rwalld*
rpc.statd@
rpc.yppasswdd*
rpc.ypxfrd*

Should I block all of these?
