Hi, To turn off the sunrpc/portmap daemon (or whatever it's called) in potato you can just do an 'update-rc.d -f portmap remove', and '/etc/init.d/portmap stop'. Then it will be off and won't restart. If you ever want it to start up automatically again you'll have know it's priority in the rc?.d dirs though, as update-rc.d removes all the symlinks in those directories.
If I remember right in slink you need to comment out several lines in /etc/init.d/netstd_init (netbase,netstd_misc... hmm not sure which), then restart that init.d file. BTW a much better way of seeing what services are listening for connections on your machine (as opposed to portscanning) is to get the package 'lsof' and do an 'lsof -i' as root.
