:)
You almost certainly don't need those two. If you do, firewall them well.
apmd is power management. Good thing. Shouldn't be any remote exploits to
it.
What's netfs? Is that related to nfs and portmap?
Does anybody know a valid reason for portmap to even be installed? nis is
not a valid reason. Very few places use it. Easy enough to install if you
do.
