What does this box do ????? rpc.lockd is the NFS Lock Manager. It looks like an rpc service scan. By itself it is nothing, if portmap,rpc.statd,or some other various NFS daemon incarnations are running, you may want to shut them off and do a quick audit. If a firewall is installed somewhere on your LAN please filter incoming to UDP/TCP port(s) identified by doing: rpcinfo -p localhost on the "scanned" host.
