| Detailed Description |
The sunlink mapper service is running. The sunlink_mapper service is a part of the SunLink X.400 implementation for connecting normal SMTP-MIME mail systems to X.400 networks. The sunlink_mapper process registers itself with the RPC portmapper as program 100033. This service should be disabled if you do not use the SunLink X.400 implementation on your network.

If you do not use this service, then disable it as it may become a security threat in the future, if a vulnerability is discovered.

first, you become a root, and then stop the service like the following:
# rpcinfo -d [program num] [version num]
And comment its entry by putting a # at the beginning of the line and revoke 'inetd' daemon.
