Question
Why am I receiving notifications pertaining to rpcbind similar to the following:
On most servers the following services are not needed and should be stopped and disabled from starting unless used:
rpcbind
Each service can usually be disabled using:
/bin/systemctl stop [service]
/bin/systemctl disable [service]
Answer
Notifications similar to the one above are generated by the 3rd party software ConfigServer LFD, which is not part of cPanel.
The rpcbind service is actually installed by default on a new operating system, such as CentOS 7. We do not manage or install rpcbind. It is typically needed for NFS. You may want to consult your administrator to determine if you need it.
If you do not need the service, you can try disabling it.
Or you can whitelist this process by adding the following to /etc/csf/csf.pignore:
exe:/usr/sbin/rpcbind
You can also add it within WHM by going to:
Plugins »ConfigServer Security & Firewall »lfd - Login Failure Daemon »csf.pignore
