portmapper service

Hello,
I've been asked to look this up and I'm having issue finding it. We are currently harding our servers and I'm new to SUSE 11. The security people at work want me to disable the portmapper service.
How do you disable the portmapper service?

Thanks

Ok, I got a update.

It seems that portmapper service is called rpcbind.
This is how I disabled the service.

Code:

service nfs stop
chkconfig nfs off
service rpcbind stop
chkconfig off

This seems to do it. If i'm wong let me know.

Thanks

subdomain.conf

SUBDOMAIN.CONF(5)						     AppArmor							 SUBDOMAIN.CONF(5)

NAME

       /etc/apparmor/subdomain.conf - configuration file for fine-tuning the behavior of the AppArmor security tool.

DESCRIPTION

       The AppArmor security tool can be configured to have certain default behaviors based on configuration options set in subdomain.conf. There
       are two variables that can be set in subdomain.conf: SUBDOMAIN_PATH, and SUBDOMAIN_MODULE_PANIC.

   SUBDOMAIN_PATH
       This variable accepts a string (path), and is by default set to '/etc/apparmor.d/' This variable defines where the AppArmor security tool
       looks for its policy definitions (a.k.a. AppArmor profiles).

   SUBDOMAIN_MODULE_PANIC
       This variable accepts a string that is one of four values: warn, build, panic, or build-panic, and is set by default to warn.

       This setting controls the behavior of the AppArmor initscript if it cannot successfully load the AppArmor kernel module on startup. The
       four possible settings are:

       warn
	   Log a failure message (the default behavior).

       build
	   Attempt to build the AppArmor module against the currently running kernel. If the compilation is successful, the module will be loaded
	   and AppArmor started; if the compilation fails, a failure message is logged.

       panic
	   Log a failure message and drop to runlevel 1 (single user).

       build-panic
	   Attempt to build the module against the running kernel (like build) and if the compilation fails, drop to runlevel 1 (single user).

BUGS

       Setting the initscript to recompile the module will fail on SUSE, as the module source is no longer installed by default. However, the
       module has been included with the SUSE kernel, so no rebuilding should be necessary.

       If you find any additional bugs, please report them to bugzilla at <http://bugzilla.novell.com>.
