LinuxQuestions.org - [SOLVED] Closing port 111 -- can't remove rcpbind/portmap.

Closing port 111 -- can't remove rcpbind/portmap.

I can't seem to remove rcpbind from my system, to close port 111. On my desktop I just ran apt-get purge portmap and that did it but on my netbook this happens.

Code:

apt-get purge portmap

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree      

Reading state information... Done

Note, selecting 'rpcbind' instead of 'portmap'

So, I tried to remove rcpbind and recieved this.

Code:

# apt-get purge rcpbind

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree      

Reading state information... Done

E: Unable to locate package rcpbind

netstat confirms that it's rcpbind listening on port 111.

Code:

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:111 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 2052/rpcbind

Anyone know which package I need to remove?

It can't find it because you mispelled it.
Note, selecting 'rpcbind' instead of 'portmap'
apt-get purge rcpbind

So I did, thanks, I think it's a case of typo and not being able to see the typo, if you see what I mean?

Edit: I really ought to know as I know it's binding for RPC and that's how I remember it even...
