Public bug reported:
The monitoring-plugins-standard package has a long list of recommends:
Recommends: bind9-host | host, dnsutils, libnet-snmp-perl, rpcbind,
smbclient, snmp, libdbi1 (>= 0.8.4), libldap-2.4-2 (>= 2.4.7),
libmysqlclient20 (>= 5.7.11), libpq5
Given that apt-get will install Recommends by default, this means that
any machine with Nagios plugins installed will also end up with a rpc
daemon running as root.
Could rpcbind perhaps be moved to Suggests?
** Affects: monitoring-plugins (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Confirmed
