JJ,

I ran into this before, rpciod is actually in kernel space, you have to
recompile your kernel with kernel NFS support turned off to remove it.

My machine is trying to listen on udp ports 799 and 800.  The only process
still active is rpciod and it won't die.  Does anyone know if this matches
an m.o. of a known rootkit?  I have udp 799 and 800 blocked at my firewall,
but I'd like to know what is going on.  These ports do not list an owning
process when running 'netstat -tupan'.

Thanks,
