A.14 Chapter 13: Sun RPC


  • Enable Kerberos or Secure RPC if possible.

  • Disable any RPC service you don't need, especially rexd .

  • Use a short window for Secure RPC reauthentication.

  • Put keylogout in your logout file if you are running secure RPC.

  • Make sure that your version of portmapper does not do proxy forwarding.

  • If your version of portmapper has a "securenets" feature, configure the program so that it restricts which machines can send requests to your portmapper . If this feature is not present, contact your vendor and ask when it will be supported.
