3.11 Only enable other RPC-based services if absolutely necessary - Ensure file /etc/rc2.d/S71rpc does NOT exist.

Information

RPC-based services typically use very weak or non-existent authentication and yet may share very sensitive information. Unless one of the services listed above is required on this machine, it is best to disable RPC-based tools completely. If you are unsure whether or not a particular third-party application requires RPC services, consult with the application vendor.
