rpc.statd error

[Phil Buckley]

I probably don't need rpc running... when I started looking in the configuration file, I see a couple instances of rpc... 

sunrpc          111/tcp         portmapper      # RPC 4.0 portmapper TCP
sunrpc          111/udp         portmapper      # RPC 4.0 portmapper UDP

as well as...

rpc2portmap     369/tcp
rpc2portmap     369/udp                         # Coda portmapper


Do I need to leave these active for any reason if I'm not utilizing rpc?

tia,
Phil
