Why is it listening for sunrpc?

[Al Sparks <data345 yahoo com>]

Running RH 6.2.  I've noticed that when I do a
    netstat ?l
I get the following:
Active Internet connections (only servers)

Fyi, the host name is aurora, and there's a second NIC on it that I've
called hb1, though I doubt it's relevant to my question.

Given that I've turned nfs completely off, why is sunrpc out there?
