As Dmitry Morozovsky points out, it seems it always listens to tcp *: 
111 which seems to be a bad thing.  I'm running 6.0-RELEASE-p1.

This came up because of some security scans we're having run for some  
compliance certificates we need...

Can anyone explain why rpcbind will still bind to all tcp interfaces?
