Subject: portmapper: when is it needed?
All RPC services. It seems that there is also a file which lists the
services ... From "man 5 rpc":

       portmapper          100000    portmap sunrpc
       rstatd              100001    rstat rstat_svc rup perfmeter
       rusersd             100002    rusers
