What is it?
[vlad@borg nsmail]$ whatis portmap
portmap: nothing appropriate
[vlad@borg nsmail]$ man portmap
No manual entry for portmap
So, I decided to execute it (as a user!) and it cut off all my network
connections such as eth0 and ppp0. What gives? ppp0 was established
by me as a user but eth0 by root on a startup.
